  • Title: [Treatment of chondral and osteochondral fractures of the knee joint].
    Author: Mayer G, Seidlein H.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1984; 109(11):737-45. PubMed ID: 6475347.
    Abstract:
    This paper deals with the different surgical procedures which may be performed for reconstructing destroyed structures of the cartilage or for palliating pain in delayed cases. Persisting defects of the cartilaginous surface will lead to osteoarthrotic degeneration of the joint. Therefore, the authors emphasize the immediate surgical revision of the injured knee joint. The results obtained in this way are good, especially in younger patients.
