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 |
