Question

What is the clinical effectiveness of using chitosan-based scaffolds during orthopedic surgery in patients with cartilage loss?
What is the cost-effectiveness of using chitosan-based scaffolds during orthopedic surgery in patients with cartilage loss?
What are the evidence-based guidelines regarding the use of chitosan-based scaffolds during orthopedic surgery in patients with cartilage loss?

Key Message

One systematic review, two randomized controlled trials, and one non-randomized study were identified regarding the clinical effectiveness of using chitosan-based scaffolds during orthopedic surgery in patients with cartilage loss in the knee. One economic evaluation was identified regarding the cost-effectiveness of using chitosan-based scaffolds during orthopedic surgery in patients with cartilage loss in the knee. No relevant evidence-based guidelines were identified regarding the use of chitosan-based scaffolds during orthopedic surgery in patients with cartilage loss in the knees or hips.
