Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Fokale Knorpelschäden gehen mit Schwellung, Funktionsverlust der betroffenen Gelenke und starker Schmerzsymptomatik einher. Zudem werden sie mit der Entstehung einer späteren Arthrose in Verbindung gebracht. Oftmals betroffen sind hierbei junge, sportlich aktive Patienten, die einen hohen funktionellen Anspruch haben. Die Behandlungsmöglichkeiten des Orthopäden in Bezug auf knorpelregenerative Therapiemöglichkeiten an Knie, Hüfte, Schulter, Ellenbogen und Sprunggelenk sind mannigfaltig.

Abstract

Focal cartilage defects lead to swelling, significant pain and loss of function of the affected joint. Additionally, they are linked to early onset of osteoarthritis. Often young and active patients are especially susceptible due to the high stress placed on their joints. A vast amount of treatment options is available to orthopaedic surgeons to cure cartilage defects of the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow and ankle joints. This article serves to give an overview of these available treatment options and to explain the expected outcomes.
