Sammanfattning

Conclusions: Our results showed significant surgical imprecision and protruding implants imposed severe cartilage damage. We therefore suggest implants should be placed recessed (approx. 0.5 mm) below the surrounding cartilage in this animal model. These results encourage further studies of metallic implants yet the utmost precision regarding position is required. (C) 2013 Osteoarthritis Research Society International.
