Low local curvature index and history of previous surgery are risk factors for revision in focal metallic inlay implants

Focal chondral defects are debilitating lesions with poor healing potential. Focal metallic inlay implants were developed as a salvage procedure, whose reoperation causes and risk factors for revision are still debatable. The aim of this study is to analyze the local subchondral curvature matching of focal metallic inlay implants and its effects on survival and clinical results.
