Clinical Efficacy of the Microfracture Technique for Articular Cartilage Repair in the Knee: An Evidence-Based Systematic Analysis
American Journal of Sports Medicine, 09/30/09
Mithoefer K et al. – This systematic analysis shows that microfracture provides effective short–term functional improvement of knee function but insufficient data are available on its long–term results. Shortcomings of the technique include limited hyaline repair tissue, variable repair cartilage volume, and possible functional deterioration. The quality of the currently available data on micro–fracture is still limited by the variability of results and study designs.
