<p>A thermal energy delivery apparatus (10) has a probe means (12) including a distal end and a proximal end. A first electrode means (22) is positioned at the distal end of the probe means. The first electrode (22) means is configured to deliver sufficient thermal energy to a fibrillated cartilage surface to reduce a level of fibrillation of the fibrillated cartilage surface. A cabling means is coupled to the proximal end of the probe means.</p> |
