Cartilage Repair Consensus Meeting 2016

The Cartilage Repair Consensus Meeting 2016 was a gathering of experts to review and update best practices for treating cartilage damage in joints, especially the knee. Cartilage is the smooth tissue that cushions bones; when it wears out, it causes pain and joint problems. The meeting focused on evaluating current surgical techniques and strategies to improve healing and long-term outcomes. The consensus aimed to standardize approaches, promote effective treatments, and encourage ongoing research to help patients recover better function and reduce joint degeneration.
