What they personally lead.
Training and recognition
Part of the PKU3 group that introduced ACI/MACI techniques to Chinese clinical practice in collaboration with European centers; published case series on combined HTO + cartilage procedures for early medial-compartment osteoarthritis; member of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS); contributes to Chinese expert consensus on cartilage repair
What to expect
Suited for active patients aged 25–55 with focal cartilage defects (typically 2–8 cm²) on MRI who want to delay or avoid arthroplasty. Standing alignment films and a recent T2-mapping or dGEMRIC MRI strengthen the surgical plan. Caveat: ACI/MACI requires two-stage surgery with cell culture in between, typically 4–6 weeks apart. <!-- TODO: needs second source -->
