Hip Cartilage Repair: Microfracture, Biocartilage, De Novo, Prochondrix

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses hip cartilage repair techniques, including microfracture, biocartilage, de novo, and prochondrics. They explain that chondral injuries are common in femoral acetabular impingement pathology and can be both mechanical and biochemical. The majority of cartilage injuries treated arthroscopically are due to CAM impingement. The speaker emphasizes that the treatment of cartilage defects in the knee cannot necessarily be assumed to work in the hip, as there are differences in the hip environment and repair response. They discuss the Beck classification for acetabular defects and explain various treatment options such as debridement, microfracture, and cartilage restoration techniques. The speaker also delves into the different grades of chondral defects and provides examples and treatment strategies for each grade. They mention the use of osteochondral allografts, biocartilage, and matrix-induced chondrogenesis as options for cartilage restoration. The video emphasizes the importance of considering the size and age of the defect when choosing the appropriate treatment. The speaker concludes by discussing the importance of off-the-shelf options and the ability to treat larger defects in the hip. No credits were mentioned in the video.
