Abstract
The intention of these newer implants is the treatment of cartilage lesions as soon as they become symptomatic and returning the patient to a level of function as high as that achieved prior to injury. As technology advances, we might expect to see the emergence of disease-modifying treatments for OA, further improvements in pain medication and also the emergence of genuinely efficacious tissue-engineered chondral repair products. A number of these are currently in phase 3 clinical studies.
