When conservative options no longer control symptoms, surgical solutions such as microfracture and osteochondral autograft transplantation (OATS) become necessary. The choice depends largely on the size and characteristics of the lesion.
Microfracture surgery involves making tiny holes in the bone surface, which stimulates stem cells to form new repair tissue. This method is generally recommended for smaller lesions and features a faster recovery, though the resulting tissue is not as durable as native cartilage.
OATS, or mosaicplasty, transfers healthy cartilage and bone plugs from a less critical joint region to the injured site. This procedure restores hyaline cartilage and is generally suitable for defects in the medium size range. Though recovery may be longer, this technique typically provides better long-term results.
Comparing both procedures, lesion size and patient activity level guide the decision. Each method offers distinct advantages, making personalized surgical planning essential for preserving joint function.
