A Phase 3 Prospective, Randomized, Partially Blinded Multi-Center Study to Measure the Safety and Efficacy of NOVOCART® 3D, Compared to Microfracture in the Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects.

The purpose of this research study is to assess the pain, stiffness and physical function of the knee in patients with an articular cartilage defect of the knee. Participants will receive one of two possible surgical procedures. One surgical procedure, which is the investigational procedure under study, utilizes the Novocart® 3D autologous cartilage implant system. The other possible procedure is called Microfracture and is one of the current standard of care options to treat this condition. Both surgical procedures will be followed by pain and knee function assessments and a course of physical rehabilitation.
