Abstract
Focal resurfacing implants for the treatment of symptomatic chondral lesions in the knee have gained popularity in recent years, as surgeons explore potential solutions for challenging conditions in young active patients. Here, we provide an overview of the BioPoly resurfacing implant, a novel self-lubricating device with characteristics similar to synthetic cartilage. The basic science of the product, patient selection, surgical technique, and early outcome data will be discussed.
