- ArthroscopyInvented by Lars Petersen in Sweden in 1987, MACI is the newest cartilage preservation approach. We take two, tic tac-sized pieces of your non-weight-bearing articular cartilage via arthroscopy and then send those cells to a company called Vericel.

Then your surgeon performs a second operation where this cell-rich matrix is placed into the bad area with the defect.
