by American Hip Institute Research Foundation | 21 days ago
This presentation explores current cartilage restoration options for hip cartilage lesions, including microdrilling, abrasion, cartilage augmentation, and osteochondral allograft transplantation. Learn how surgeons approach large femoral head defects, including the use of surgical dislocation or a direct anterior approach, BMAC augmentation, and carefully sized osteochondral grafts. The discussion also highlights the challenges of researching these advanced hip preservation techniques and the importance of matching treatment to the size and location of the cartilage defect.
