A clinical trial to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of Chondron (Autologous cultured Chondrocyte) administered through arthroscopy from the drug's 48 weeks efficacy and safety evaluation with 96 weeks follow-up in patients with knee cartilage defects.

This is an open trial, involving a total of 10 subjects. Subjects who give consent will be screened and those who meet trial criteria will receive CHONDRON (Autologous cultured Chondrocyte) by transplant. During the trial period, subjects must follow the instructions given by principal investigator. Subjects will make 8* hospital visits on a regular basis inclusive of hospitalization. During these visits subjects will be examined. For the evaluation of safety and efficacy of CHONDRON, examination with doctors, blood samples, x-ray, MRI tests, observation with the naked eyes and arthroscopy will be performed. *If tissue samples can be collected at screening visit, there will be only 7 visits.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with cartilage defects in their knee (Including Knee OA and Knee TA) * For a single lesion, less than 15 cm2 cartilage defects; and for multiple lesions, less than 20 cm2
2. Patients with misalignment of their tibia and femur, unstable ligament in their knee, or bony defects in the lesions of their knee, and/or who had been treated for alignment
3. Patients which surrounding cartilage are normal
4. Patients who were 15 years old or older

3. Patients with inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout arthritis
4. Patients with arthritis related to autoimmune disease
5. Pregnant, breast-feeding patients or those who have a possibility of pregnancy
6. Patients with accompanying diseases other than articular cartilage defects, including tumors (Exception: if the possibility of Chondron treatment is confirmed with doctor's clinical decision).
7. Patients who have a history of receiving radiotherapy, chemotherapy in the last 2 years (Exception: if the possibility of Chondron treatment is confirmed with doctor's clinical decision).
8. Patients with diabetes (however, patients whose blood sugar test results are normal and do not have any complication of diabetes, when a written opinion that CHONDRON administration is possible is appended by a doctor are excluded)

13. Patients with liver, heart, or kidney disease (Those who show normal or insignificant test results may be enrolled in this study and receive the Chondron based on the investigator's judgment. Hypertension patients are allowed.)
14. Patients who had been infected with a virus (Those who show normal or insignificant test results may be enrolled in this study and receive the Chondron based on the investigator's judgment.)
