What it can tell you
The state of DVT-prophylaxis evidence after knee arthroscopy — the population whose clot-risk data this site borrows for the protection stage.
What it cannot
MACI-specific clot rates. Cartilage repair cohorts are too small to estimate them; this is standard post-arthroscopy guidance carried over, and labelled as such.

Read it like a sceptic
Arthroscopy is a shorter, less invasive procedure than an arthrotomy-based implantation — risk here may be understated for MACI.
Population
Knee arthroscopy — a different population from MACI itself. Wherever this source appears, that flag appears with it.
Selection policy
Sources enter the registry through docs/research — the evidence table records design, population, and size for every entry, and pages cannot cite anything outside it.
