Cartilage defects affect patients of all age groups. Surgeons, teamdoctors, general practitioners and physiotherapists alike are expected to provide adequate care. Only individual treatment plans combining a well balanced choice of various options will be successful. Background knowledge, operative and non-operative therapies are described in concise chapters: Articular cartilage biology, Diagnostics, Surgical techniques, Symptomatic and alternative medications, Physiotherapy. Diagnostic findings and surgical procedures are generously illustrated by aquarelles and colour photographs.
