Well, I went in for microfracture and when i woke up I was told that the lesion was too large for this procedure. So, now, my recovery is postponed yet another month while they grow cartilage from a sample taken from my knee in a lab in Boston. This is becoming increasingly depressing. So I sit here with an incredibly swollen knee from the arthroscopic procedure, with nothing but cancelled vacation plans to look forward to. Anyone have anything positive to say about ACI?
What size was your cartlidge defect? Femoral side?
Love the blog!
I think my defect was 1.5 cm – I know it was too big for micro fracture. I will post an update in a few minutes to bring my blog current- thanks for the incentive to do so.
