Abstract
Canadian orthopedic surgeons varied greatly in terms of how patients were selected for microfracture surgery of the knee, which surgical techniques were used, and what post-surgery programs were prescribed. Sport medicine surgeons were more likely than non-sports medicine surgeons to use practices supported by current evidence.
