An arthroscopic method of resurfacing with a collagen patch. A collagen
patch is prepared by dimensioning the patch to correspond to the
articular surface, and by providing a series of loops installed along the
edge of the patch. The loops correspond to holes on the articular
surface. Once the patch has been successfully placed on the surface, the
loops are positioned in close proximity to the pre-drilled holes.
Fixation devices such as anchors may be installed over the loops, to
attach the perimeter of the graft to the surface through the pre-drilled
holes.
