Currently, there is a lack of epidemiological data on its frequency, age distribution, and surgical options for cartilage surgery. This study aimed to investigate the current landscape of cartilage surgery in Germany and identify the most common procedures from an epidemiological standpoint. Materials and methods: Medical billing and reporting data from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany, encompassing the period 2006-2020, was examined, including all foot and ankle cartilage surgical procedures (summarized under OPS codes 5-812 and 5-801). The dataset incorporated information on the affected joint, patient age and sex, and surgery type. Each surgical procedure was categorized as "debridement", "regeneration" or "refixation". Linear and nonlinear regression analyses were employed, with a statistical significance threshold of 0.05. Results: From the total of 136,501 procedures conducted during the study period, the most frequently performed interventions were microfracture (58,252) and chondroplasty (56,135), and thus, debridement procedures were in the leading position. The use of acellular membranes was the most used regenerative technique (n = 11,414). At the ankle joint, interventions were mostly arthroscopic and in men, while foot cartilage surgeries were preferably performed via open surgery and mostly in women. Age distribution analysis revealed two primary peaks: the first in the 20-25-year-old group (ankle and foot) and the second in the 45-50-year-old group (ankle) and 55-60-year-old group (foot). Refixation and regenerative procedures were more frequent among younger individuals, while debriding procedures were more frequent among older individuals. Regenerative procedures, particularly in the ankle, significantly increased over time. Conclusions: Cartilage surgery of the foot and ankle was common, with two primary age groups predominantly affected. Notably, recent years have witnessed a considerable rise in cartilage regenerative procedures. 2023 true true true false false GOLD 2024-09-27 false http://medicina.lsmuni.lt/ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 Q2 false false false false 1 9 0 6 0 true Language 10002 /api/language/10002 English Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 112134387 /api/authorship/112134387 Eidmann, Annette ✉ 1 0.16666667 true false true Eidmann Annette true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 112134388 /api/authorship/112134388 Heinz, Tizian 2 0.16666667 false false false Heinz Tizian true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 112134389 /api/authorship/112134389 Oberfeld, Jan 3 0.16666667 false false false Oberfeld Jan true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 112134390 /api/authorship/112134390 Weissenberger, Manuel 4 0.16666667 false false false Weissenberger Manuel true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 112134391 /api/authorship/112134391 Rudert, Maximilian 5 0.16666667 false false false Rudert Maximilian true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 112134392 /api/authorship/112134392 Stratos, Ioannis 6 0.16666667 false true false Stratos Ioannis true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 24941181 /api/publicationidentifier/24941181 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59071256 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 DOI PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 DOI true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true IDENTICAL 10.3390/medicina59071256 https://doi.org/10.3390/medicina59071256 false true PublicationIdentifier 27554314 /api/publicationidentifier/27554314 ISSN: 1648-9144 PlainSource 123 /api/publicationsource/123 ISSN PublicationSourceType 10002 /api/publicationsourcetype/10002 Egyéb false true true ISSN ISSN https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/@@@ true true 123 true NONE IDENTICAL 1648-9144 https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/1648-9144 false true PublicationIdentifier 24941180 /api/publicationidentifier/24941180 WoS: 001036703700001 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 WoS PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 Indexelő adatbázis false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true IDENTICAL 001036703700001 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/001036703700001 false true PublicationIdentifier 26889168 /api/publicationidentifier/26889168 PubMed: 37512067 PlainSource 17 /api/publicationsource/17 PubMed PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 Indexelő adatbázis false true true PubMed PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=@@@&dopt=Abstract true true 17 true IDENTICAL 37512067 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=37512067&dopt=Abstract false true Classification 12215 /api/classification/12215 Clinical medicine true true Keyword 10366 /api/keyword/10366 Age Distribution true 10366 true Keyword 1637722 /api/keyword/1637722 regenerative therapies true true Keyword 2310372 /api/keyword/2310372 Epidemiological analysis true true Keyword 2536094 /api/keyword/2536094 cartilage surgery true true Keyword 3246035 /api/keyword/3246035 foot and ankle procedures true true SjrRating 11398048 /api/sjrrating/11398048 sjr:Q2 (2023) Scopus - Medicine (miscellaneous) MEDICINA-LITHUANIA 1010-660X 1648-9144 1084 0.49 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr sjr true true ClassificationExternal 2701 /api/classificationexternal/2701 Scopus - Medicine (miscellaneous) true 2701 true Q2 DIRECT true true /api/publication/34364573 Eidmann Annette et al.
