“…Concomitant drilling, MF, periosteal flap, OAT, and ACI of cartilage lesions and ACL reconstruction have shown acceptable and promising results in the previous literature. 1,2,6,17,23,25,29,30 However, these studies have been case series or case-control studies with relatively small numbers of patients included in the different treatment groups, making it difficult to conclude and generalize about the treatment of choice. The only randomized trial on the concomitant treatment of cartilage lesions and ACL reconstruction is a recent study by Gudas et al, 21 which compared patients undergoing debridement, MF, and OAT of concomitant cartilage lesions at 3-year follow-up after ACL reconstruction.…”
