Abstract des Autors
The understanding of arthritis and possible treatment options continues to improve. This article discusses classification of articular cartilage degeneration, osteochondral defects, osteotomy, and a variety of treatments. Developments in the study of growth factors, molecular biology, and gene therapy make the future bright; it is contingent, however, on critical factors such as controlled studies, accurate inclusion criteria, outcome measurement, and long-term follow-up.
