Beyond the Myths: How Modern Science is Changing Our Understanding of Cartilage Regrowth
Recent research challenges the long-held belief that cartilage hardly heals, highlighting its regeneration potential when supported by innovative therapies. While cartilage's avascular nature limits spontaneous repair, advances like the liquid, cell-free collagen matrix and scaffold-based treatments promote effective cartilage regrowth. Combining biological factors with controlled mechanical loading has shown significant…Recent research challenges the long-held belief that cartilage hardly heals, highlighting its regeneration potential when supported by innovative therapies. While cartilage's avascular nature limits spontaneous repair, advances like the liquid, cell-free collagen matrix and scaffold-based treatments promote effective cartilage regrowth. Combining biological factors with controlled mechanical loading has shown significant improvements in patient outcomes, enabling many to return to active lifesty...

Medicolegal Implications of Microfracture Surgery in Cartilage Repair: An In-depth Q&A
Microfracture surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat knee cartilage damage. However, its long-term efficacy and outcomes have sparked controversy. Compared to newer techniques like autologous chondrocyte implantation, microfracture may produce less durable repair tissue. Surgeons need to consider the patient's specific cartilage damage, potential for success, and…Microfracture surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat knee cartilage damage. However, its long-term efficacy and outcomes have sparked controversy. Compared to newer techniques like autologous chondrocyte implantation, microfracture may produce less durable repair tissue. Surgeons need to consider the patient's specific cartilage damage, potential for success, and limitations of the procedure before performing it. Medicolegally, it is important to fully inform patients about the procedure and document thorough consent. It is crucial for patients to have a realistic understanding of what the surgery can and cannot achieve. Microfracture may be more suitable for younger patients with smaller, well-contained cartilage lesions. The future of cartilage repair surgery lies in techniques that regenerate hyaline cartilage more effectively. Insurance providers are increasingly scrutinizing the evidence behind various surgical techniques, potentially impacting coverage decisions
