Knee assessment and biopsy
An articular cartilage injury may be found during any arthroscopic knee procedure. Many patients who have other knee injuries, such as ACL or meniscal injuries, have concomitant articular cartilage injuries. Prior to any arthroscopic procedure, it may be beneficial to educate the patient on all cartilage repair options, including CARTICEL.
