Abstract
This in vitro study clearly demonstrates that irrigation of cartilage with an antiseptic should be limited to an effective concentration and treatment time compatible with antiseptic function. Iodophores have no negative feedback on cartilage metabolism, moreover, they stimulate chondrocytes in vitro. Cationic antiseptics are not suited as irrigating solutions.
