Dr MarK Porter is currently participating in a new International research study looking at whether knee cartilage injuries heal better with microfracture procedure or a thermo-gel device.
The device is approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia and multiple other countries.
We currently have about 30 patients on the research study so Physiotherapists will see these patients post surgery for standed rehabilitation with few extra study treatment monitoring such as MRI and follow ups.
The study is known as JMAC Study and follow the link below for more information about who is eligible and what the study is trying to acheive.
Microfracture repair is a surgical technique used to repair damaged cartilage by making multiple small holes on the surface of the joint to promote new blood vessels to the region of repair in order to improve the healing process.
