Rehabilitation of the Knee After Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis: A Systematic Review of Rehabilitation Protocols and Clinical and Radiological Outcomes

This review demonstrated that rehabilitation protocols varied according to the location of the lesion, with a general trend of earlier weightbearing for patellofemoral lesions, in comparison with earlier ROM for condylar lesions. The postoperative clinical outcome and MRI findings are similar with both protocols, suggesting that this approach of customizing the ROM and weightbearing components in the rehabilitation protocol to the lesion site plays a role in the positive outcome.
