The Chondral Pick is a multi-functional surgical instrument primarily designed to treat localized cartilage damage (chondral defects). It allows for the creation of localized vascular access channels in these defects. This microfracture technique is essential for chondral resurfacing by stimulating the flow of marrow elements to promote healing. The pick is also useful to mark intended drill sites in all ACL/PCL procedures, serving as a precise initial marking instrument. The tool is available in various tip angles to accommodate different joint anatomies and surgical approaches.
Key features include:
-
Primary Use: Creation of localized vascular access channels in chondral defects.

Secondary Use: Marking intended drill sites in all ACL/PCL procedures.
-
Application: Used for chondral resurfacing.
-
