Full thickness cartilage defect might occur at different ages, but a focal defect is a major concern in the knee of young athletes. It causes impairment and does not heal by itself. Several techniques were described to treat symptomatic full thickness cartilage defect. Recently, several advances were described on the known techniques of microfracture, osteochondral allograft, cell therapy, and others. This article brings an update of current literature on these well-described techniques for full thickness cartilage defect.
全层软骨缺损可能发生在不同的年龄,但在年轻运动员的膝关节中,局灶性缺损是一个主要关注点。它会导致功能障碍,而且不会自行愈合。已经描述了几种技术来治疗有症状的全层软骨缺损。最近,对已知的微骨折、骨软骨同种异体移植、细胞治疗等技术进行了一些改进。本文对全层软骨缺损这些描述良好的技术的现有文献进行了更新。
