It is mechanistically impossible when underlying bone is worn smooth, degeneration spans multiple compartments, or malalignment and instability persist uncorrected.Cartilage repair is suited to younger, active patients with isolated damage in otherwise healthy joints where conservative care has not worked.

Ten-Year Success Rates for OATS Mosaicplasty
Ten-year success rates for OATS mosaicplasty span 72–89% in young, active patients; failure rates drop to 12.5–14% in optimal candidates (under 40, lesion under 3 cm²) but rise to 38–40% in older patients with larger defects.Ten-year success rates for OATS mosaicplasty span 72–89% in young, active patients; failure rates drop to 12.5–14% in optimal candidates (under 40, lesion under 3 cm²) but rise to 38–40% in older patients with larger defects.

Choosing between ACI and MACI for cartilage repair
MACI cartilage grafts show 90% fill at two years but decline to 49% by ten years; 73% become fibrocartilage rather than the hyaline cartilage needed for durability.MACI cartilage grafts show 90% fill at two years but decline to 49% by ten years; 73% become fibrocartilage rather than the hyaline cartilage needed for durability.
