Most studies addressing treatment of chondral injuries have involved the knee. Various techniques have been used in the knee. Microfracture has shown excellent results in the knee. Chondral injuries of the hip are common in athletes with labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement. The microfracture technique is now being used in the hip joint. Indications include full-thickness cartilage loss or unstable flap on a weight-bearing surface. An important contraindication is the patients unwillingness to follow the postoperative protocol and rehabilitation plan. The microfracture technique in the hip is similar to that in the knee. Postoperatively, patients use a continuous passive motion and are flat foot (20 lbs.) weightbearing for 8 weeks. Early results following microfracture in the hip have been encouraging.
