Procedure Microdrilling Surgery

All patients will undergo an arthroscopic surgical procedure in which small holes are drilled throughout the areas of damaged cartilage (standard of care)

Biological Injections of BMAC + PRP + HA

All patients will receive up to 12 post-operative intra-articular knee injections of BMAC (derived from iliac crest), PRP (derived from peripheral blood) and HA (Supartz)
