Use of hollow awl in microfracture yielded more open marrow channels, greater stem cell mobilization
Recent research published in Arthroscopy showed use of a cannulated hollow awl during microfracture led to more patent marrow channels at the adjacent subchondral bone of the microfracture hole, as well as greater mobilization of the reparable cells to the defect in human knee joints compared with use of a conventional awl. Researchers made a…
