📌Concealed Chondral Delamination

  • Concealed Chondral Delamination separates cartilage from the subchondral bone without an obvious overlying cartilage defect or fissure. 
  • Despite the absence of visible surface abnormalities, these lesions represent full-thickness cartilage abnormalities due to the instability of the delaminated cartilage.

 

✅ Characteristics

  • The surface of the articular cartilage appears normal, complicating arthroscopic identification of the delamination beneath.
  • These lesions often show subjacent marrow abnormalities, which can serve as a crucial diagnostic clue.

 

✅ Detection Challenges

  • During arthroscopy, the articular cartilage surface may look entirely normal or exhibit only a subtle bulge.
  • When the chondral surface is breached, the delamination often extends beyond the visible margins of the superficial defect.
  • The initial overlying cartilage may remain intact, with tidemark separation occurring beyond the visible cartilage defect.

 

✅ Comparison with Cartilage Flaps

  • Unlike concealed chondral delamination, cartilage flaps always show a violated cartilaginous surface.
