ABSTRACT
The first follow-up treatment recommendation from the DGOU's Clinical Tissue Regeneration working group dates back to 2012. New scientific evidence and changed framework conditions made it necessary to update the follow-up treatment recommendations after cartilage therapy.As part of a multi-stage member survey, a consensus was reached which, together with the scientific evidence, provides the basis for the present follow-up treatment recommendation.The decisive criterion for follow-up treatment is still the defect localisation. A distinction is made between femorotibial and patellofemoral defects. In addition, further criteria regarding cartilage defects are now also taken into account (stable cartilage edge, location outside the main stress zone) and the different methods of cartilage therapy (e. g. osteochondral transplantation, minced cartilage) are discussed.The present updated recommendation includes different aspects of follow-up treatment, starting with early perioperative management through to sports clearance and resumption of contact sports after cartilage therapy has taken place.
