OATS or microfracture for active knee patients
Microfracture improves early but deteriorates progressively beyond two years because it deposits fibrocartilage, whilst OATS transplants intact cartilage that remains stable long-term.Microfracture improves early but deteriorates progressively beyond two years because it deposits fibrocartilage, whilst OATS transplants intact cartilage that remains stable long-term.

Chondroplasty for knee cartilage damage
Chondroplasty removes loose cartilage fragments that cause catching and grinding, relieving mechanical symptoms, but does not rebuild the cartilage itself; it is palliative, not restorative.Chondroplasty removes loose cartilage fragments that cause catching and grinding, relieving mechanical symptoms, but does not rebuild the cartilage itself; it is palliative, not restorative.

Who benefits from an unloader knee brace
Unloader braces use three-point pressure to shift load away from damaged cartilage. They work only for single-compartment osteoarthritis, and success depends more on professional fitting and follow-up than the device itself.Unloader braces use three-point pressure to shift load away from damaged cartilage.

What the ChondroFiller evidence actually shows
ChondroFiller, a collagen scaffold, increaseskneefunction scores by 30 points at three years — roughly double the clinical significance threshold — but no large independent randomised trial has been completed.ChondroFiller, a collagen scaffold, increases knee function scores by 30 points at three years — roughly double the clinical significance threshold — but no large independent randomised trial has been completed.

How strong is ChondroFiller's clinical evidence
ChondroFiller produces clinically meaningful functional improvement of approximately 30 IKDC points inkneepatients, sustained at three-year follow-up, but published evidence extends no further, leaving long-term durability unproven.ChondroFiller produces clinically meaningful functional improvement of approximately 30 IKDC points in knee patients, sustained at three-year follow-up, but published evidence extends no further, leaving long-term durability unproven.
