Treatment of degenerative chondropatia of the knee

The book "Treatment of Degenerative Chondropathy of the Knee" offers a comprehensive analysis of the treatment of degenerative chondropathy of the knee using the microfracture arthroscopic technique. It is based on a prospective, descriptive study conducted between September 2015 and September 2018 at the Central Military Hospital Dr. Carlos J Finlay. The investigation includes 25 patients who were treated for arthroscopically diagnosed degenerative chondropathy. The study highlights various variables, including age, gender, affected knee, and the severity of cartilage damage according to the Outerbridge classification. Additionally, possible complications associated with the surgical technique and the timing of the occurrence of newly formed fibrocartilage are discussed. This professional book is aimed at medical and nursing professionals and provides valuable insights into treatment methods and their outcomes.
