Comparison of Clinical, Radiologic, and Arthroscopic Outcomes Between the Microfracture and Microdrilling Techniques for Articular Cartilage Defects in Medial Opening-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy
Combining MOWHTO with microdrilling for MFC defects resulted in earlier clinical recovery and superior functional outcomes over 24 months postoperatively compared with microfracture and demonstrated excellent cartilage repair on postoperative evaluation.
