Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Subchondroplasty with ArthroscopyActive Control1 Intervention
After randomization to the study group, subjects assigned to the Subchondroplasty + Arthroscopy group will undergo the Subchondroplasty portion of the procedure before or after the Arthroscopy portion per the surgeon's discretion. All operative procedures are to be performed under aseptic conditions according to the institution's standards.
Group II: Arthroscopy AlonePlacebo Group1 Intervention
After randomization, subjects assigned to the Arthroscopy control group will undergo arthroscopy of the study knee with one or more of the following procedures: * Partial meniscectomy * Lavage * Debridement * Loose body removal * Synovectomy * Removal of osteophytes in the notch or locations other than those adjacent to BML(s) Superficial skin incision(s) should be created at the typical AccuPort® access point(s) as if the subject had undergone Subchondroplasty. The incisions should be closed in the typical fashion.
