Female patients report comparable results to males after the implantation of an aragonite-based scaffold for the treatment of knee chondral and osteochondral defects: a gender-based analysis of a RCT at 4 years’ follow-up

Abstract Background The aim of the study was to provide a gender-based analysis of the results of a large, multi-centre randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing a novel cell-free aragonite-based scaffold with the standard of care (i.e. debridement/microfractures) for the treatment of chondral/ost...
