The Conformity of Rehabilitation Protocols Used for Different Cartilage Repairs of the Knee Joint—A Review on Rehabilitation Standards in German Speaking Countries

et al. 2021

The present study analysed current rehabilitation protocols to investigate whether there is a standard for early rehabilitation after microfracturing (MFX), matrix-assisted cartilage transplantation (MACT), and osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS) of the knee joint in clinical routine, and if rehabilitation protocols differ in the repair technique used or the localization of the cartilage defect. The evaluation included rehabilitation criteria such as weight-bearing, range of motion, use of an orthosis, motion therapy, and rehabilitation training during the early rehabilitation phase after MFX, MACT, and OATS of the femorotibial and retropatellar joint space. We analysed 153 rehabilitation protocols after cartilage repair of the knee joint, including 137 protocols for after repair of the main weight-bearing (femorotibial) area and 16 for after retropatellar cartilage repair. Most of the protocols differed significantly according to the location of the repair and the procedure performed. Our findings indicate that full weight-bearing can be achieved significantly faster after MFX (5.6 weeks) and OATS (5.3 weeks) than after MACT of the main weight-bearing zone (6.6 weeks, p < 0.001). In addition, after retropatellar cartilage repair, patients are allowed full weight-bearing after 2.1 weeks compared to the main weight-bearing zone (5.3–6.6 weeks; p < 0.001). No standardized rehabilitation recommendations have been established. The present study shows that rehabilitation needs to be adjusted to the surgical technique and the location of the defect zone, and further investigation is warranted to establish standardized rehabilitation protocols after cartilage repair of the knee joint.
