description Scaffolds, either alone or combined with cultured chondrocyte cells, are an effective treatment for chondral or osteochondral defects of the knee and ankle joints. Scaffolds are a more sophisticated solution and have some advantages compared with the isolated use of the more traditional treatments of microfractures or nanofractures. In addition, scaffolds represent a less complicated technique and a less expensive treatment compared with chondrocyte culture treatments, which are accessible by very few patients. In the present article, we detail the surgical technique and provide advices and tips for the treatment of ostecochondral hand and wrist lesions using the Chondro-Gide (Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhausen, Switzerland) scaffold and its patented autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC, Geistlich Pharma AG) technique.
