Abstract
Joint function losses that occur as a result of injury, healing and scarring of the cartilage tissue are varied. In this study, the contralateral joints of rabbits with complete cartilage loss were defined as the control group. Self-healing of similar cartilage losses and popular surgical methods were compared, and the results were examined histopathologically. As a result, it was determined that while autogenous full-thickness osteochondral cartilage transfer resulted in the best cartilage healing, the healed cartilage tissue without any intervention was superior to methods such as drilling and carbon fiber. We concluded that cartilage tissue must be “no men land” if lower than full thickness cartilage lesions. Cartilage must be protected any surgical impact instead of main mechanical articular problems must be focused.
