Canadian orthopedic surgeons differ greatly in their approach to microfracture knee surgery

This summary is a project of the Institute for Community Engaged Scholarship (ICES) at the University of Guelph, with project partners: the Catalyst Centre, SPARK Program at the University of Guelph, and Knowledge Mobilization Unit at York University. This project is part of the Pan-Canadian Research Impact Network. http://csahs.uoguelph.ca/pps/Clear_Research Canadian orthopedic surgeons varied greatly in terms of how patients were selected for microfracture surgery of the knee, which surgical techniques were used, and what post-surgery programs were prescribed. Sport medicine surgeons were more likely than non-sports medicine surgeons to use practices supported by current evidence.
