Original Title:
Evaluación del colágeno tipo I inyectable empleado en el contexto de la técnica AMIC/ACIC realizada por artroscopia
Authors' objectives:
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of injectable type I collagen used in AMIC/ACIC arthroscopic procedures, as well as its economic, ethical, legal, organizational, social, and environmental implications.
Authors' results and conclusions:
Conclusions
• The evidence is very uncertain regarding the efficacy and safety of injectable type I collagen compared with standard techniques for the treatment of articular cartilage lesions.
• The cost-effectiveness of using injectable type I collagen compared with the current technologies of choice for these indications is unknown.
Authors' methods:
A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted to assess the effectiveness, safety, and cost-efficiency of this technology. Study inclusion followed the PICO criteria:
- Population: Adults (individuals over 18 years old) with chondral lesions eligible for AMIC/ACIC treatment
- Intervention: Injectable type I collagen used in the context of AMIC/ACIC arthroscopy
- Comparator: AMIC/ACIC using other devices
- Outcomes: Change in symptom intensity at short, medium, and long term, measured using specific scales (such as variations in pain intensity or morphological changes in the lesion); changes in quality of life; need for revision surgery; conversion to total joint arthroplasty; adverse events or complications; and outcomes related to economic, ethical, legal, organizational, social, and environmental aspects.
Risk of bias and quality of evidence were assessed using the RoB 2, MINORS and EPOC tools. A qualitative synthesis of the results was performed.
