Which knee cartilage repair fits your situationKnee cartilage repair choice is driven by defect size, bone involvement and whether treatment is single-stage or staged. OATS or mosaicplasty uses the patient's own osteochondral plugs for small focal defects of roughly 1 to 4 cm², while OCA uses donor tissue when the defect is larger, post-traumatic or involves…Knee cartilage repair choice is driven by defect size, bone involvement and whether treatment is single-stage or staged. OATS or mosaicplasty uses the patient's own osteochondral plugs for small focal defects of roughly 1 to 4 cm², while OCA uses donor tissue when the defect is larger, post-traumatic or involves significant bone loss. AMIC is a single-stage marrow stimulation with a collagen membrane; MACI takes two stages but has 15- to 17-year follow-up data, while head-to-head AMIC-vs-MACI ev...

Cartilage repair or knee replacementThe first split between cartilage repair and knee replacement is whether damage is a focal defect in an otherwise intact knee or diffuse wear across the joint. Joint-preserving treatment fits localised lesions, often in younger or active patients, with alignment, meniscus status and stability shaping the plan. Smaller focal defects…The first split between cartilage repair and knee replacement is whether damage is a focal defect in an otherwise intact knee or diffuse wear across the joint. Joint-preserving treatment fits localised lesions, often in younger or active patients, with alignment, meniscus status and stability shaping the plan. Smaller focal defects under about 2 to 4 cm² may still be treated with microfracture, but the SUMMIT trial showed MACI gave better 2-year pain and function for larger defects. OCA addresse...
