Christopher Richards, MD, orthopedic surgeon and fellowship-trained sports medicine physician, discusses the MACI® procedure, a revolutionary cartilage restoration treatment to repair damaged knees. This procedure requires two surgeries: the first is a minimally invasive surgery to harvest a sample of the patient’s cartilage that is sent to a lab to grow a “patch”, and in the second surgery, the surgeon inserts the patch back into the knee. Dr. Richards is a surgeon with Mary Washington Orthopedics in affiliation with FOA. You can learn more about him at [ Ссылка ].
