A member asked:
What is best treatment for 3mm osteochrondal defect in medial femoral condyle? kissing contusion of the knee joint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me advise you: Many patients appear to do well from an arthroscopic washout and debridement where any loose bodies of cartilage are removed and the defect is tidied back to healthy cartilage. However, when this treatment fails to relieve symptoms it is unclear what the best treatment is.
