For Patients
Knee Cartilage Transplant Matched to Your Knee
When a part of your knee cartilage is damaged, donor cartilage transplantation could be an option. GenuForm AI uses MRI-based AI to help your surgeon find the graft that matches the shape your knee needs.
Drag to rotate. Left: donor cartilage. Right: three patients, each with a colour-coded matching graft.
What It Is
Why the Shape of the Graft Matters
When a part of your knee cartilage is damaged, it can be replaced with healthy donor cartilage. Cartilage is firm, so the new piece has to match the shape of your knee. GenuForm AI helps your surgeon identify the donor graft that fits your knee best.

Available Donor Cartilage
When suitable donor cartilage is available, it is mapped in the same way.
The Problem
Why Finding the Right
Graft Matters
- About 30% of people over 55 have some degree of knee cartilage damage, and half of them already feel pain
A Different Approach
Repair the Damaged
Area Without Replacing
the Whole Joint
- Only the damaged area is replaced with healthy donor cartilage.
- The new piece is matched to the shape of your knee.
- Cartilage does not cause rejection the way transplanted organs can.
- The goal is full movement and, where possible, a return to sport.

FAQ
Questions You May
Have
Could this treatment be an option for me?
It depends on your knee and your diagnosis. An orthopaedic surgeon can assess this after examining you and reviewing your MRI.
Will my body reject donor cartilage?
Cartilage does not cause rejection the way transplanted organs can. Donor tissue is used according to medical and ethical regulations.
Where does the donor cartilage come from?
From deceased donors. Thanks to precise matching, one donation can help two to three patients.
Does the AI perform the operation?
No. The AI suggests the best-fitting graft. Your surgeon reviews the plan, makes the final decision and performs the operation.
What does it cost?
Costs and insurance coverage depend on your country, insurer and hospital. Your surgeon or hospital can tell you more.
What happens after I send a message?
