Advantages and Disadvantages of Arthroscopic Treatment of Cartilage Lesions With Microfracture and BST-CarGel
Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|
Minimally invasive surgery | Demanding surgical technique |
Faster operative time | Some localizations of cartilage defects (patella, posterior condyles) may not be addressed |
Less scar tissue formation and faster recovery | No long-term data |
