Abstract

The study was based on the data of Assessment results of arthroscopic microfracture for localized full-thickness cartilage defects of the knee in patients of Iraq. For a group of 100 patients (60 men and 40 women) in the period from 2015 to 2020 based on the orthopedic department of Anbar Hospital in Iraq To assess the structural and anatomical disorders of the cartilage, as well as the functional state of the knee joint, a clinical, functional, and statistical method, the method of scales and questionnaires using: KOOS (Knee Activities Outcomes Survey for Daily Life Scale), Lysholm, pain vas were used. In this study, which aimed to evaluate a clinical trend analysis of patients undergoing microfracture according to KOOS, LYSHOLM, TENGER, PAIN VAS Where the results showed a significant improvement in patients between the ages of 40-50 years, even after five years after surgery, and the clinical scores at 1 and 2 years were higher compared to the results before surgery. It was revealed that advancing age leads to the presence of arthritis and that over time, the survival rate increases with a percentage. 2% of patients over 60 years of age
