Objective To provide an evidence-based overview of the different surgical procedures in
osteoarthritis (OA). Design This narrative review reports on surgical therapies (1) for severe …

Background Cartilage defects are treated with a wide array of non-operative and surgical
procedures. Optimal choice of treatment depends on lesion depth and size. Objectives To …

Objective To compare substantial clinical benefit (SCB) of a hydrogel-based, matrix-
associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (M-ACI) method versus microfracture (MFx) …

Articular cartilage injury induced by collision or trauma is a common sports-related condition
that may progress to pain, dysfunction, and secondary osteoarthritis (OA). Limited by self …

Background: Few studies exist for large defects comparing matrix-associated autologous
chondrocyte implantation (M-ACI) with other cartilage repair methods due to the limited …

Purpose To characterize and compare the quality of regenerative cartilage tissue (ReCT)
after conventional minced cartilage (CMC) and arthroscopic minced cartilage (AMC), in …

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the procedure of choice for osteoarthritis of the
knee (OAK) when conservative treatment fails; however, high rates of dissatisfaction and …

Background Debate continues as to whether surgical treatment with chondral-regeneration
devices is superior to microfracture for focal articular cartilage defects in the knee. Purpose …

The current first-line treatment for repairing cartilage defects in clinical practice is the
creation of microfractures (MF) to stimulate the release of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs); …

Objective Marrow stimulation is used to address knee cartilage defects. In this study, we
used the fragility index (FI), reverse fragility index (rFI), and fragility quotient (FQ) to evaluate …
