From AMIC®️ to AMIC®️+: Exploring Additional Potential 💫

AMIC®️ is a well‑established surgical procedure backed by over 20 years of consistent clinical results.

📚 Some studies highlight opportunities for a more personalized approach by combining the AMIC®️ technique with biological adjuvants placed beneath the Chondro-Gide®️ membrane — a concept known as AMIC®️+.

Possible biological adjuvants include:
- AMFAT
- BMA / BMAC / PBC
- Minced Cartilage
- PRP

‼️ Addition of these biologics for cartilage repair depends on local regulations. ‼️

While these combinations appear promising, more robust long-term clinical data are still required to clearly extablish their therapeutic value. 🔍

It has already been one week since we came back from Poznan, after spending several productive and highly satisfying days dedicated to the AMIC® Foot & Ankle, AMIC® Knee, and AMMR® Courses.

As every year, these courses provide an excellent opportunity to exchange with surgeons from around the world, maintain close relationships with our distribution partners, and further consolidate our partnership with the Poznan lab.

For us, organizing these surgical skill courses is truly rewarding, and the consistently positive feedback we receive confirms their relevance for the healthcare professionals we work with.
The engagement of surgeons throughout these courses highlights their commitment to continuous learning, which gives additional purpose to our educational efforts.

Thank you again to all participants, the faculty, and the Poznan Lab for the great time we had together.

✨ A Decade of AMIC® & AMMR® Training Excellence in Poznań! ✨

Ten years ago, we held our very first AMIC® and AMMR® surgical skills courses at POZNAŃ LAB Instytut Medycyny Praktycznej .
Since then, the city of Poznan has truly become our home for training and education — and this year was no exception.

We were thrilled to welcome 24 surgeons from 10 countries for two intensive days filled with inspiring presentations, hands‑on practical sessions, stimulating discussions, and amazing networking opportunities.

Our exceptional faculty — Prof. Dr. med. Justus Gille; Assoc. Prof. Tomasz Piontek, MD, PhD; Agnieszka Prusińska, MD, PhD; Assoc. Prof. Paweł Bąkowski, MD PhD; and Jakub Naczk, MD, PhD — guided participants through the techniques, sharing invaluable tips and tricks and helping them deepen their knowledge of arthroscopic AMIC® and AMMR® procedures.

A huge thank you to all participants for their enthusiasm, engagement, and incredible energy throughout the course.

We are already looking forward to the next edition! 🙌

AMIC® – A Preferred Option for Medium‑Sized Chondral and Osteochondral Defects

AMIC® is recognized as a valuable procedure for treating chondral lesions across multiple joints—including the knee, talus, and hip.

According to the recommendations of the Working Group Tissue Regeneration of the DGOU, matrix‑augmented bone marrow stimulation (mBMS), such as AMIC®, has recently been acknowledged as a standard method for cartilage regenerative treatment in medium‑sized defects (with size defined by joint).
The clinical evidence consistently shows superior outcomes when compared to microfracture or microdrilling alone.

Within the group of mBMS procedures, the strongest, published clinical evidence is for the Chondro‑Gide® membrane.

Why AMIC®?
✔ One‑step surgery
✔ Cost‑efficient
✔ Strong and long‑lasting clinical results

🌟 Introducing the Geistlich Evidence Hub 🌟

Geistlich Ortho is pleased to launch a new series of educational posts on orthopaedic topics: the Geistlich Evidence Hub.

This initiative is dedicated to sharing evidence‑based knowledge with all individuals interested in cartilage regeneration and joint preservation.

Throughout the series, we will highlight a broad range of topics related to regenerative solutions for cartilage and joint health. Each post is based on robust scientific evidence and supported by published data, with references included for deeper exploration. 🔍📄

Our aim is to provide accessible, clinically relevant insights that support the continuous advancement of cartilage regeneration and joint‑preserving therapies. 🔬✨

New content will be shared several times throughout the year.

Stay tuned — more evidence‑based insights are on the way!
