Cartilage Repair Who Is a Candidate. Cartilage repair and regeneration is treatment for an otherwise healthy knee, but not for knees affected by osteoarthritis, a condition that causes natural cartilage deterioration from aging. The treatment is recommended for patients with knee cartilage damage or deterioration caused by: 1  Injury or trauma, including sports injuries. 2  Repetitive use of the joint.  Congenital abnormalities, meaning those that a person is born with, affecting normal joint structure.

- Chondroplasty is performed to smooth damaged cartilage in the knee in order to lessen friction in the joint.

Cartilage Regeneration and Osteoarthritis Several techniques have been developed that show progress in cartilage regeneration. 1  Debridement or Abrasion - A surgeon arthroscopically removes loose cartilage which causes bleeding at the bone surface and growth of fibrocartilage (fibrous cartilage or scar tissue).

Chondromalacia Patellae Chondromalacia patellae is damage to the cartilage at the back of the kneecap (patella). The usual treatment advised is to avoid overuse of the knee and to have physiotherapy, which is effective in most cases. The patella is the kneecap bone.

Knee Replacement Surgery Procedure What is a knee replacement surgery? Knee replacement, also called arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap. This surgery may be considered for someone who has severe arthritis or a severe knee injury.

Microfracture for Cartilage Injuries Of The Knee Microfracture surgery is one of the surgical procedures available to try and heal knee cartilage injuries. A microfracture is a knee surgery technique which involves making multiple small holes in the bone. Those holes allow bone marrow stem cells to enter and cover the cartilage defect(see pictures below). For months after the surgery a repair cartilage should start to grow.

- Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability. It is most commonly performed for osteoarthritis,[1] and also for other knee diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.

Study proves stem cell paste graft therapy critical to rebuilding cartilage. With the microfracture, the study found evidence of fibrous repair tissue and incomplete healing. Researchers concluded that the reason for the superior results from the paste graft was the presence of stem cells in the paste. The DNA in the stem cells makes more normal looking, smooth, cartilage repair tissue.The research noted a synergistic interaction of the stem cells with the cartilage matrix and the cells of the cartilage (chondrocytes) that exceeded what might have been expected from cells alone.n articular cartilage paste graft is an arthroscopic, out-patient, single-step procedure in which a small amount of the patient’s own bone, stem cells, and cartilage is taken out of the non-weight bearing intercondylar notch of the knee, ground into a paste, and impacted back into an arthritic defect in the joint.

An Overview on Chondroplasty and Microfracture as Articular Cartilage Treatments Chondroplasty and Microfracture. Articular cartilage is the substance that covers our joints and is responsible for providing a smooth and pain-free gliding motion. If articular cartilage is damaged, or if it begins to degenerate due to a previous injury, pieces of it may break off and become loose within the joint.

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (November 2008) Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI, ATC code M09AX02 (WHO)) is a biomedical treatment that repairs damages in articular cartilage. ACI provides pain relief while at the same time slowing down the progression or considerably delaying partial or total joint replacement (knee replacement) surgery.

Osteotomy An osteotomy is a surgical operation whereby a bone is cut to shorten or lengthen it or to change its alignment.It is sometimes performed to correct a hallux valgus, or to straighten a bone that has healed crookedly following a fracture. It is also used to correct a coxa vara, genu valgum, and genu varum.nee osteotomy is commonly used to realign arthritic damage on one side of the knee. The goal is to shift the patient's body weight off the damaged area to the other side of the knee, where the cartilage is still healthy.

What you need to know about cartilage damage 1 Mosaicplasty-cartilage from undamaged areas of the joint is moved to the damaged area. 2  The cartilage that is moved has to be in a non-weight-bearing part of the joint. 3  This procedure is not suitable when there is widespread damage, as in osteoarthritis.
