Background: Focal chondral defects of the knee are common. Several surgical techniques have been proposed for the management of chondral defects. In this study, early functional outcomes with use of Chondro Filler liquid in the knee articular cartilage defects were evaluated.
Methods: A retrospective study of 11 patients who underwent knee arthroscopy and ChondroFiller liquid application for ICRS Grade IV defects were followed up from 6 months to 18 months. Functional outcomes of the patients were evaluated from IKDC subjective evaluation forms.
Results: Mean age of patients was 46.6 years. Isolated chondral lesions were associated with better outcomes (Mean IKDC score 66.25). Chondral lesions are seen in association with other injuries in 63.64% of cases. Chondral lesions over medial femoral condyle are more common (81.8% ) and are associated with better outcomes when compared with lateral tibial plateau lesions. Female patients and high BMI were associated with poorer outcomes.
Conclusion: ChondroFiller liquid could serve as a good treatment option for Grade IV chondral defects in select patients. Future studies on bigger cohort could help in developing an algorithm for patient selection for use of ChondroFiller.
