Treatment of Cartilage Defects in the Knee Using BioCartilage® Allograft

Brian J. Cole, MD, MBA (Chicago, IL), presents recent published data on multicenter, prospective, and clinically significant outcomes of using BioCartilage® extracellular matrix to treat cartilage defects in the knee, including a two year postoperative success rate of 97.9%.1 Dr. Cole discusses how BioCartilage extracellular matrix can be used in conjunction with microfracture to improve patient outcomes and how it fits into treatment algorithms for patients with articular cartilage defects.
