Single-surgery variants of autologous chondrocyte implantation to repair cartilage are emerging, but practical data on such procedures are scarce. We set out to describe a 1-stage autologous chondrocyte co-implantation procedure and include quantitative characteristics of the biopsy tissues collected and of the cells obtained from those tissues in the operating room.
