AMIC Compared With Microfracture for Focal Articular Cartilage Damage of the Hip

This is a pilot multi-centre RCT of 40 patients (ages 18-55 years, inclusive) undergoing primary hip arthroscopy with a focal articular cartilage defect of the acetabulum to compare the effect of using autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) in comparison to microfracture on hip function, health-related quality of life, hip pain, cartilage regeneration, health utility, and any adverse events at 2 years. Follow-up will occur at 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months post-surgery.

Microfracture With Platelet Rich Plasma Gel Injection for Osteochondral Lesion of the Talus

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if combined local injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel adds clinical efficacy to isolated arthroscopic microfracture in treatment of osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). The interface integration of the injured area will also be assessed via radiographic follow-up. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does arthroscopic microfracture combined with PRP gel injection improve ankle function of participants based on American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Score? * Does arthroscopic microfracture combined with PRP gel injection improve interface integration of the injured cartilage on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)? Researchers will compare arthroscopic microfracture with concomitant local injection of PRP gel to isolated microfracture to see if intraoperative PRP gel injection adds clinical efficacy to isolated arthroscopic microfracture in treatment of OLT. Participants will: * Undergo either isolated arthroscopic microfracture or microfracture with intraoperative injection of PRP gel * Receive clinical follow-up 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery and answer scales of ankle function assessment * Take MRI preoperatively and 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery
