chondral

The success of chondral repair depends on the patient's injury and treatment options available.

Studies have shown that microfracture techniques do not fill in the chondral defect fully, forming fibrocartilage rather than hyaline cartilage.

The goal of non-operative intervention is to promote healing in the subchondral bone and prevent potential chondral collapse, subsequent fracture, and crater formation.

Sequestration of articular surfaces similar to oesteochondritis dissecans or collapse of subchondrla bone with chondral injury occurs afterwards.

When the damage increases and the chondral defect reaches the subchondral bone, the blood supply in the bone starts a healing process in the defect.

Gille et al. concluded that treatment of chondral knee lesions with the AMIC technique is effective and safe in appropriately selected cases.

Early arthritis of the knee Lesions on the kneecap Degenerative chondral lesions of the knee Traumatic injuries to the cartilage Risk for any surgery include:

Studies, however, have shown that marrow stimulation techniques often have insufficiently filled the chondral defect and the repair material is often fibrocartilage (which is not as good mechanically as hyaline cartilage).

Mosaicplasty, a form of chondral grafting, is a therapy designed to replace cartilage on the surface of the knee joint that has been damaged by trauma or arthritis by implanting osteochondral plugs.
