Abstract
In laser-controlled cartilage-ablation arthroplasties, the attention focuses more and more on the depth effects of the various lasers, especially as heat necroses of the cartilage and even in places of the bone were found in animal experiments. For the first time, two cases of holmium: YAG laser-induced aseptic bone necrosis of the femoral condyles after cartilage ablation are described.
