NAMIC is an abbreviation of Nanofracture Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis.

Technique of NAMIC

The procedure is a one-stage technique where nanofracture needling produces local subchondral bleeding, and the defect is then covered with a collagen membrace which is cut to shape, and fixed into the defect using a fibrin glue.
