Abstrakt: Failure rates of cartilage restoration surgery range from 14% to 43%. When failure of prior cartilage restoration surgery is suspected, a thorough clinical workup should be performed to assess the timing and duration of symptoms. Attention should be paid to patient risk factors such as age, body mass index, and smoking status. Concomitant pathology such as malalignment, ligament insufficiency, and meniscus status must be evaluated before revision surgery. As outlined in our treatment algorithm, the size/location of the lesion and the type of primary procedure will guide planning for revision procedures.
