Abstract
Cartilage restoration procedures appear to be increasing in popularity and are being performed more frequently for older patients according to a recent analysis of database data. Chondroplasty and microfracture are most commonly performed; however, chondrocyte transfer procedures, including osteochondral autologous transplantation and autologous chondrocyte implantation, are being performed more commonly. Relatively few corrective osteotomies are being performed in conjunction with these procedures; this is concerning because surgeons are either not looking for malalignment or not correcting it. Please, when performing joint preservation surgery, don't put down the saw!
