Abstract (original English)

This study presents a surgical approach combining adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction, autologous cartilage particulate, and a hyaluronic acid mesh to treat focal cartilage lesions. Early findings indicate the method is safe and feasible, showing promise for enhancing cartilage regeneration and potentially delaying osteoarthritis progression. This integrated technique may offer improved clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients, although further research is necessary to validate long-term efficacy and refine surgical protocols.
