摘要：
Introduction. Although pharmacologic treatment remains the mainstay for treating rheumatoid arthritis, there is an increasing need for a method that biologically regenerates arthritic knee lesions as patient longevity continually increases. Case presentation. We treated rheumatoid arthritis of the right knee in a 35-year-old female Korean patient using autologous chondrocyte implantation. Twelve months after surgery, the patient could walk without pain. Conclusion. Autologous chondrocyte implantation appears to be effective for treating rheumatoid arthritis of the knee. © 2009 licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
