Magnetic resonance imaging showed obvious involvement of the patellar cartilage and some signs of initial osteonecrosis in the patellar cancellous bone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, surgical intervention was performed with <strong>MeRG\u00ae collagen membrane<\/strong> in combination with microperforations of the subchondral bone. The membrane was soaked with autologous bone marrow concentrate extracted from the iliac crest and placed to cover the medial and lateral facets of the patella.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MeRG\u00ae is a type I collagen-based membran<\/strong>e that, by creating a biological chamber, maintains mesenchymal cells in situ for a period of 2-3 months, thus accelerating tissue regeneration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MRI performed 6 months after surgery showed an improvement of the patellofemoral relationship and patellar cancellous tissue. The surgery also resulted in a marked decrease in pain symptoms and&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bioteckacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ORT_SCH9_ENG_WEB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&gt; Click here to see the full case!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To have more information about the MeRG\u00ae membrane, you can schedule a one-to-one meeting with Dr. Matteo Buda at our booth (n\u00b025) at the TRAUMA MEETING in Riccione on Thursday, October 9.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bioteckacademy.com\/en\/corso\/one-to-one-with-the-expert-discover-more-about-chondrogrid-and-merg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&gt; Download the program here!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we present a case carried out by the team of Dr. Gianluca Bisinella (at the Hospital of Monselice Schiavonia, Padova, Italy) on the use of a collagen [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":13190,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
