Cartilage degeneration is a widespread problem which occurs predominantly in the knee, ankle, and shoulder. For younger, active patients, early cartilage replacement can result in a much improved quality of life and can delay or eliminate the eventual need for prosthetic joint replacement, with substantial savings to the Canadian healthcare system. Mosaic arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which plugs of cartilage and bone are transplanted from non-load-bearing areas of the joint to the site of the cartilage defect. We have shown in previous research that computer-assisted mosaic arthroplasty (CAMA) results in better clinical outcomes than conventional mosaic arthroplasty. The proposed research, which will train four graduate and three undergraduate students, will develop computer algorithms and user interfaces to improve the delivery of CAMA in three areas:

软骨退化是一个普遍的问题，主要发生在膝盖，脚踝和肩膀。 对于年轻活跃的患者，早期软骨置换可以大大提高生活质量，并可以延迟或消除对人工关节置换的最终需求，为加拿大医疗保健系统节省大量资金。 镶嵌式关节成形术是一种外科手术，其中软骨和骨塞从关节的非承重区域移植到软骨缺损部位。 我们在以前的研究中已经表明，计算机辅助镶嵌关节成形术（CAMA）比传统镶嵌关节成形术具有更好的临床效果。 拟议的研究将培训四名研究生和三名本科生，将开发计算机算法和用户界面，以改善CAMA在三个领域的交付：
