has gloss | eng: Microfracture surgery is one of the articular cartilage repair surgical techniques that works by creating tiny fractures in the underlying bone. This causes new cartilage to develop from a so-called super-clot. Microfracture surgery has gained a profile in the sports world in recent years; numerous professional athletes including members of the NBA (most notably Anfernee Hardaway, Greg Oden, Allan Houston, Kenyon Martin, Tracy McGrady, Chris Webber and Amar'e Stoudemire), NFL and NHL have undergone the procedure. |
