The matter becomes complicated in older patients, or in case of larger defects or malalignment. The current study reveals some knowledge gaps for these more complex patients. Referral to tertiary centers might be indicated, as is stated by the DCS, and this centralization should enhance knee joint preservation. Since the data from present study are subjective, registration of all separate cartilage repair cases should fuel objective analysis of clinical practice and adherence to the DCS in the future.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-023-04800-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]],"date-time":"2023-02-21T17:10:58Z","timestamp":1676999458000},"page":"5175-5188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Cartilage repair strategies in the knee according to Dutch Orthopedic Surgeons: a survey study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"143","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7729-8800","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.
