NCT ID NCT03112200
First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a procedure called Subchondroplasty (filling bone defects with a special material) plus standard knee arthroscopy works better than arthroscopy alone for people with knee pain caused by bone marrow lesions. About 131 adults aged 30-75 with knee osteoarthritis took part. The goal was to see if the combined treatment reduces pain and the need for further knee surgeries.
