Brief Summary

Clinical and comparative evaluation of the treatment results of arthroscopic reconstruction of cartilage defects in the knee joint with the use of autogenous cartilage graft with PRP GF (platelet-rich plasma with growth factors)

Detailed Description

The main goal of the research project is to evaluate the results of the treatment of arthroscopic reconstruction of cartilage defects in the knee joint with the use of an autogenous PRP GF cartilage graft. The specific objectives are: to compare the results of treatment of analogous areas of the cartilage defects of the knee joint obtained in the study groups using two methods: microfracture and autogenous PRP GF cartilage graft (Auto Cart-Arthrex method). The results on the operated limb will be compared in both groups both between the groups and with the results of clinical and biomechanical tests on non-operated limbs.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ultrasonography (USG)6 months after procedure

Ultrasound examination on the apparatus with the option of elastometry

Visual Analogue Score6 months after procedure

Visual Analogue Score - subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. 100-mm VAS ratings of:

* 0 to 4 mm can be considered no pain;

* 5 to 44 mm, mild pain;

* 45 to 74 mm, moderate pain;

* 75 to 100 mm, severe pain.

Biomechanical examination6 months after procedure

On the Biodex 3 System measuring device

Body Mass Index (BMI)6 months after procedure

BMI is interpreted using standard weight status categories:

I : below 18.5 kg/m2 - underweight;

II : 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m2 - healthy weight;

III : 25.0 - 29.9 kg/m2 - overweight;

IV : 30.0 kg/m2 and above - obesity.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)6 months after procedure

1,5 Tesli

Tegner Activity Level Scale (TAS)6 months after procedure

The Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) aims to provide a standardized method in determining the level of activity prior to injury and level of activity post injury that can be documented on a numerical scale.

The Tegner activity scale is a one-item score that graded activity based on work and sports activities on a scale of 0 to 10. Zero represents disability because of knee problems and 10 represents national or international level soccer.

Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale6 months after procedure

The Tegner Lyshom Knee Scoring Scale is a patient-reported instrument that consists of subscales for pain, instability, locking, swelling, limp, stair climbing, squatting, and the need for support. Scores range from 0 (worse disability) to 100 (less disability).

Grading the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale:

* \<65 - poor;

* 65-83 - fair;

* 84-90 - good;

* \>90 - excellent.

IKDC SUBJECTIVE KNEE EVALUATION FORM6 months after procedure

Interpreted as a measure of function, such that higher scores represent higher levels of function and lower levels of symptoms. A score of 100 is interpreted to mean no limitation with sporting activities or daily living and the complete absence of symptoms.
