A novel precision micro-drilling technique for treating osteochondral lesions of the talus with superior cartilage regeneration and early rehabilitation compared with microfracture: a randomized controlled study with 2-year follow-up

The SPORT surgery and the novel guided subchondral bone drilling instruments have excellent translational potential in sports medicine as an alternative to replace traditional MF techniques for OLTs and can be extended to cartilage repair in other joints, such as the knee and shoulder.
