Abstract

In order to determine the potential for a computer-assisted program to allow accurate and reproducible measurements of joint surface defects, area measurements were repeated 10 times by three observers for two complex lesions of predetermined size. The results indicate that this system offers a significant improvement over the surgeon's freehand method of assessment and that further development is indeed warranted.
