The limited natural capacity for articular cartilage to regenerate has led to a
continuously broadening array of surgical interventions. Used once patients'
symptoms are not relieved by nonoperative management,
these share the goals of
joint preservation and restoration. Techniques include bone marrow stimulation,
whole-tissue transplantation, and cell-based strategies, each with its own
variations. Many of these interventions are performed arthroscopically or with
extended-portal techniques. Indications, operative techniques, unique benefits,
and limitations are presented.
