Abstract

Microfracture is a single stage arthroscopic procedure that can be used in conjunction with other arthroscopic treatments for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. It has a well-documented and successful track record and when used with the appropriate rehabilitation techniques can be very effective for pain relief and functional improvement. It has proven clinical benefit and is our technique of choice for the initial surgical treatment of osteoarthritis.
