Knee Microfracture

 

Injury to the knee can result in a localised full thickness loss of the cartilage covering of the bone (articular cartilage).

​

Microfracture is one method of surgically encouraging new cartilage to grow and fill the defect.

​

Mr Ashworth has been performing this surgery for over 20 years and has always followed the Steadman protocol.

​

Dr Steadman was the originator of the microfracture technique. Click here for a link to his web site.
