17) Patients with dynamic injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and lateral collateral ligament of the knee
18) Patients who are scheduled to undergo surgical treatment of the target knee joint, such as treatment for meniscus injury or ligament reconstruction, or who have undergone such surgical treatment within the past 6 months.
19) Patients with paralysis due to nerve or muscle disease on the side of the knee joint cartilage damage or defect (affected side of the leg)
20) Patients with a partial arthroplasty in the knee to be transplanted.
21) Patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity to bovine-derived or porcine-derived ingredients of this product
22) Patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity or anaphylactic shock to gentamicin
