    Patient-specific resurfacing implants address the treatment gap for active patients with focal chondral or osteochondral lesions in otherwise intact knee joints.

  • 2

    The study involved ten knees treated with Episealer® implants, demonstrating no complications or revision surgeries during the follow-up period.

  • 3

    Implants were customized based on MRI scans to ensure optimal coverage of focal lesions and promote bony integration for effective fixation.

  • 4

    Kinematic analysis indicated that patient-specific resurfacing implants resulted in medial pivot and lateral femoral rollback during knee flexion.

    The study highlights the need for further research on knee joint kinematics post-surgery to inform decision-making for resurfacing implant procedures.
