The authors present the results of optical microscopic studies of some lesions of cartilage and subchondral bone of the knee, the arthroscopy allowing this structure's biopsy during the endoscopic procedures. These histological criteria are very important estimation factors of long term results of these "repair" techniques, the microstructure showing the real biological status of these specific tissues.
