The patient had a severe patellar lesion from an injury. DeNovo NT Natural Tissue Graft is a biologic treatment for early intervention and cartilage repair. Cartilage is prepared and implanted in a single-stage procedure.
The DeNovo NT Graft is a type of allograft and the tissue is obtained from an outside source before being prepared and treated for re-implantation and seeding of the lesion. Over time the implanted cartilage graft grows to provide full thickness cartilage in a continuous layer which will become integrated into the subchondral bone at the lesion site.
Dr. Meier performed a juvenile cartilage implantation.
