Three-dimensional construct preparation and surgical procedure. The synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells formed a spheroid with a diameter of approximately 600 μm (A). A columnar construct (6.3 mm in diameter and 5 mm in height) was produced for implantation (B). A cylindrical osteochondral defect was created in each medial condyle before implantation (C). The construct was autografted into the osteochondral defect in the right hind limb (D). Nothing was implanted into the left limbs (control defects) (E). The white portion under the construct is a construct sill (asterisk) and the clear portion under the sill is a mould (double asterisks)
