Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) Knee joints
Explanation
Biological resurfacing replaces or covers damaged cartilage with biological tissue to restore a smooth bearing surface in a joint.
It is used to treat cartilage defects of the knee joint, especially in younger patients, to delay full joint replacement.
Unlike a metal arthroplasty, it promotes regrowth of cartilage-like tissue on the joint surface.
