Abstract
Biocartilage in conjunction with microfracture is an encouraging cartilage restoration technique that promotes regeneration of more robust hyaline-like cartilage compared to the fibrocartilage formed after conventional microfracture. The T2 mapping properties of the repair tissue after successful BioCartilage augmented microfracture surgery are very similar to that of the adjacent native cartilage. Although there appear to be characteristic trends in a successful repair, further research is warranted to elucidate any correlations between specific characteristics of the repair and patient clinical outcomes.
