A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Chondro-Gide® to Microfracture Alone for Treatment of Knee Cartilage Defects.

Microfracture is a well-established arthroscopic surgical technique for cartilage repair which involves several systematic steps, including debridement to a stable cartilage margin, careful removal of the calcified cartilage layer, and homogeneous placement of microfracture penetrations within the cartilage defect, with resultant complete defect fill by a well-anchored clot
