This hyaluronic acid-based MACT technique offered positive and durable clinical outcomes with a low failure rate at long-term follow-up in patients affected by patellofemoral cartilage lesions. However, trochlear and patellar lesions demonstrated a notable difference in terms of clinical findings and sport activity level, with significantly higher results for patients with trochlear lesions but less satisfactory outcomes for patients with patellar lesions.
