**5. Conclusion**

The articulations in their particularities refine the movement and enable a series of domains and skills of great importance for the development of human activities.

Thus, there is a growing interest in achieving more promising techniques in joint maintenance through cartilage repair. Some more modern techniques, involving the development and application of stem cells or the use of vectors to carry chondrocytes to the target lesion, still lack more consistent evidence in the long term that can justify their costs. Techniques that employ older, established concepts, such as microfracture and abrasion arthroplasties, are more accessible but fail to maintain their initial results over the years.

In this way, the development of a less invasive technique, aimed at preserving joint functions and minimizing symptoms, with sustainable durability and feasible cost, continues to guide the search for innovations in the arid terrain of joint preservation.
