Articular Cartilage Lesions: A Practical Guide to Assessment and Treatment Book

Over the last decade, interest in management of articular cartilage lesions has virtually exploded within the orthopaedics community worldwide. Despite its growth, more questions remain to solve the difficult problems of articular cartilage lesions. Adoption of a single technique is based upon the composite influence of what surgeons think they know and what they have little knowledge about. How do surgeons fill these voids?
