ARTHROSCOPIC AND OPEN CARTILAGE REPAIR

摘要

Arthroscopic debridement of OCD lesions leads only to fibrocartilage growth Unloading the medial compartment, using osteotomy techniques, allows for fibrocartilage growth,Osteochondral resurfacing restores cartilage and subchondral bone lesion Allografting eliminates significant short comings of fresh autografts, harvested from the stifle joint,Synthetic osteochondral implants may be a valuable alternative to auto- or allografts Focal resurfacing of the medial compartment using the CUE system results in significant functional improvement.
