title: [Dislocation of artificial cartilage (SaluCartialge)].
abstract: Treament of focal cartilage defects is challenging, and techniques of bone marrow stimulation or cartilage transplantation are not sufficient to reconstitute hyaline cartilage. Preliminary results of artificial cartilage repair are promising, but no long-term results are available. Here, we report on a case of graft dislocation 6 months after artificial cartilage repair (SaluCartilage). We conclude that this method is not fully developed and more long-term results are required.
