Introduction. Ostochondral lesion of the knee is a common cause of chronic knee pain. Arthroscopic treatment with subcondral microfracture is a widespread technique leading to noticeable improvement of knee function and pain. To improve the effectiveness of this treatment options, we thought to add intra (PRF) or post-operative (PRP) growth factors. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is obtained by centrifugation of the blood to produce a plasma with high concentration of platelets and growth factors. This latter represents a promising method to manage degenerative cartilage lesion and can be used postoperatively to improve clinical results of patients treated arthroscopically. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) has been presented as a second-generation platelet concentrate, and it is used intraoperatively to cover the microfracuteres’ holes. No literature was found about using of PRF intraoperative in association with arthroscopic microfracture technique. The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes of the treatment of knee osteochondral lesion using arthroscopic microfracture technique alone or in association with PRF Intraoperative application using “Vivostat” system or with PRP “ReGen Lab” postoperative injection. Patients & Methods. 90 patients with clinical and radiographic evidence of
