MACI® Implant – Talking to your doctor
The questions below address some important topics you may want to discuss with your doctor:
- What are my treatment options? What are the benefits and risks of each one?
- What are the long-term outcomes for each procedure?
- Are there any other factors that may need to be corrected in my knee to help ensure I have the best outcome possible?
- What activity level should I expect to be able to return to if I have a successful outcome following surgery?
- Will I have to modify my activity levels?
- What physical therapy should I expect following surgery?
- What happens if my articular cartilage repair doesn't work? What is our next option?
Your doctor will provide you with the consent form, which is legally required for this type of treatment before surgery.
