A member asked:
Have been told i have grade 3 cartilage defect in my right knee, we did a maci harvest, will they do maci surgery with grade 3 or will they make me wait till grade 4?

Knee surgery: This is a great question to discuss with your orthopedic doctors. since they did a harvest already, they must have a plan based on your specific symptoms and findings. Talk to your Dr about next steps and what to expect. If you have questions, try emailing or calling their office.
