The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of implanting bead-type autologous chondrocyte (CartiLifeĀ®) obtained by culturing expanded costal chondrocytes of the patient with a chondral defect in the knee. The patients will be assessed clinically using MRI, clinical, biochemical and International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC) outcomes preoperatively as well as 8, 24 and 48 weeks postoperatively to assess the relief of symptoms and joint function.
