Apart from cartilage transplantation (mosaic plastic surgery) and autologous chondrocyte transplantation, microfracturation has now become a very widespread method for treating cartilage defects. Microfracturation ranks among the bone-marrow stimulating procedures and is applied in cases of restricted cartilage damage that goes deep into the bone. In order to match the anatomical characteristics of the hip joint, in microfracturation, the PULSEShifter was developed to create an instrument that uses a patented solution. This to guides the impact pulse along the sheath curved at the distal end (45°) virtually without loss and conducts it "round the corner" into the movably mounted tip of the instrument.
