Geistlich Ortho Surgical Skills Course – AMIC® for Foot & Ankle 🌟

This year’s course on the AMIC® technique for chondral and osteochondral lesions in the ankle joint came with an exciting expansion: for the first time we included the application in the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints.

Over two intense and inspiring days, our outstanding faculty — Prof. Dr. med. Markus Walther , PD Dr. med. Stephan Wirth, MD , Dr. med. Sebastian Altenberger and Mr Kailash Devalia — delivered engaging presentations and generously shared their expertise and valuable tips and tricks.

Our agenda combined comprehensive lectures with interactive surgical skills sessions, covering arthroscopic, mini-open, and open techniques.
It was a fantastic opportunity for learning, exchanging ideas, asking questions, and networking with peers and experts.

We were delighted to welcome orthopedic surgeons from Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Mexico, Spain, the UK, South Korea, and Lithuania.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all participants for making this course such a great experience!

A special thank you goes to the POZNAŃ LAB Instytut Medycyny Praktycznej for the excellent organization and collaboration.

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!

🌟 Major Milestone for biologic cartilage regeneration in Austria: LKF Code for one step matrix assisted cartilage repair using AMIC Chondro-Gide® 🌟

As of January 1st, the procedure “Single stage, matrix assisted cartilage repair of the knee joint (arthroscopic)” has been introduced as a new service item in the Austrian LKF catalogue. It is now assigned to the corresponding case based reimbursement categories in both the inpatient and outpatient LKF models.

✅ LKF Code: NF126
✅ LKF Points: 4,931

This development supports the routine and reimbursable use of Geistlich’s AMIC® Chondro Gide® procedure in arthroscopic knee surgery, providing clear medical and economic framework conditions for clinical practice.

It enables
• Integration of biological, single stage matrix assisted cartilage procedure into everyday practice
• Improved planning and reimbursement clarity
• Structured coding for consistent clinical workflows

This outstanding step was achieved through an initiative of the Austrian Expert Group on Joint Preservation and Cartilage Regeneration, and the QKG | Gesellschaft für Knorpelregeneration und Gelenkerhalt in coordination with the Solve Consulting Company of BMI.
