Methods: Fourteen patients were treated consecutively and clinically prospectively followed for a mean period of 26.1±12.8months. All patients were previously treated for their cartilage lesion. Radiographical data were analysed based on the Kellgren and Lawrence system. Results: The patients involved in this study demonstrated a gradual clinical improvement in time. However, radiographically significant osteoarthritic changes were observed during the follow-up period. The position of the HemiCAP® resurfacing system was adequate in all cases, and no signs of loosening were observed during the follow-up period. Conclusions: The HemiCAP® resurfacing system is feasible as a salvage treatment for a failed index cartilage procedure and resulted in a gradual clinical improvement. However, the favourable clinical outcome was not confirmed by the radiographical findings. Level of evidence: IV.
