The surgical management strategies of FAIS-related cartilage lesionsa
| Non-full-thickness cartilage lesions | Cartilage delamination or cartilage flap | Full-thickness cartilage lesions | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| chondroplasty | < 2 cm2 |
Repair First: Fibrin glue Second: Suture or other adhesive techniques |
< 2cm2 | Debridement or MF |
| > 2 cm2 | Seen as full-thickness lesions after debridement | 2-4cm2 |
First: MF Second: OCT, enhanced MF, ACI/MACI |
|
| 4–6 cm2 |
First: enhanced MF, ACI/MACI Second: OCT |

| >6 cm2 |
First: ACI/MACI Second: OCT, THA |

aMF, microfracture; OCT, osteochondral transplantation; ACI, autologous chondrocyte implantation; MACI, matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation; THA, total hip arthroplasty
