Morphological and compositional monitoring of a new cell-free cartilage repair hydrogel technology - GelrinC by MR using semi-quantitative MOCART scoring and quantitative T2 index and new zonal T2 index calculation

The increase of MOCART scores over follow-up indicates improving cartilage repair tissue. Global and zonal T2 repair values at 24 months reached normal cartilage in 81% and 63.5% of the patients respectively, reflecting collagen organization similar to hyaline cartilage.
