Chondrolysis Explained

Chondrolysis [ICD Code {{ICD10|M|94|3|m|91}}] is the process of breakdown of cartilage. It can occur as a result of trauma (traumatic chondrolysis). Intra-articular infusions of certain local anesthetic agents such as bupivacaine, lidocaine, ropivacaine and levobupivacaine can also lead to this effect.^[1]
