Mosaic arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a cartilage defect. Small plugs of cartilage and bone are transplanted into the defect from a non-load-bearing part of the joint.
The procedure is technically demanding, requiring that (a) the original cartilage surface be determined, (b) a set of plugs be found to reconstruct that surface, and (c) the plugs be harvested and placed very accurately.
Conventional mosaic arthroplasty is done manually and has variable results. Our research provides better surgical outcomes through computer planning and computer guidance.
