Rethinking Microfracture Surgery in Modern Orthopaedics: Perspectives for Cartilage Repair
Discover the ongoing debate surrounding microfracture surgery as a technique for cartilage repair in orthopaedic medicine. As advanced methodologies emerge, such as Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) and Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI), the relevance of microfracture comes under scrutiny. Although it may still be appropriate for patients with small cartilageDiscover the ongoing debate surrounding microfracture surgery as a technique for cartilage repair in orthopaedic medicine. As advanced methodologies emerge, such as Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) and Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI), the relevance of microfracture comes under scrutiny. Although it may still be appropriate for patients with small cartilage defects, concerns over long-term efficacy and durability limit its applicability. With rapid advancements in regenerative medicine, stem cell therapies and scaffold-based approaches offer promising alternatives. Ultimately, patient-specific factors should guide the decision-making process, and ongoing research is necessary to define microfracture's role in modern orthopaedic surgery.

Microfracture in Cartilage Repair: Efficacy, Adverse Outcomes, and Clinical Controversies
Microfracture Technique: Limitations and Concerns. This article discusses the limitations and potential adverse outcomes associated with the microfracture technique used for cartilage repair. Concerns include subchondral bone overgrowth, formation of less durable fibrocartilage instead of hyaline cartilage, and the lack of long-term durability. Other limitations include the technique's suitability forMicrofracture Technique: Limitations and Concerns. This article discusses the limitations and potential adverse outcomes associated with the microfracture technique used for cartilage repair. Concerns include subchondral bone overgrowth, formation of less durable fibrocartilage instead of hyaline cartilage, and the lack of long-term durability. Other limitations include the technique's suitability for large lesions, the formation of granulation tissue and subchondral cysts, and the need for extended rehabilitation. These factors raise concerns about the efficacy and long-term outcomes of microfracture as a sole treatment for cartilage defects.
The Importance of Jump Training and Balance Training in Late-Stage ACL RehabilitationThe Importance of Jump Training and Balance Training in Late-Stage ACL Rehabilitation
Effective late-stage ACL rehabilitation integrates jump and balance training to restore explosive strength, neuromuscular control, and knee stability. Jump training rebuilds power and safe landing mechanics, while balance exercises enhance proprioception, reducing reinjury risk. Combining these dynamic drills with sport-specific activities aids functional recovery and psychological readiness, crucial for returningEffective late-stage ACL rehabilitation integrates jump and balance training to restore explosive strength, neuromuscular control, and knee stability. Jump training rebuilds power and safe landing mechanics, while balance exercises enhance proprioception, reducing reinjury risk. Combining these dynamic drills with sport-specific activities aids functional recovery and psychological readiness, crucial for returning confidently to athletic performance. Emerging technologies like wearable sensors and AI-driven motion analysis further personalize rehabilitation, promoting optimal outcomes and safer return to sport.
