Cartilage Restoration
Cartilage restoration is a surgical procedure aimed at resurfacing, realigning, and stabilizing the knee joint to repair damaged cartilage and prevent the need for total joint replacement. This procedure is ideal for patients with localized cartilage damage due to injury or early-stage arthritis. By restoring the natural cartilage, patients can relieve pain, improve joint function, and prolong the life of the knee joint. At Revere Health, we offer advanced cartilage restoration techniques to help patients maintain an active lifestyle without the need for more invasive joint replacement surgery.
How Cartilage Restoration Works
The procedure involves repairing or regenerating damaged cartilage in the knee. Techniques such as microfracture, cartilage grafting, or autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) may be used, depending on the extent of the damage. These methods encourage the growth of new cartilage, helping to restore smooth joint function.
When Is Cartilage Restoration Recommended?
Localized Cartilage Damage: For patients with isolated cartilage injuries, not widespread arthritis.
Younger Patients: Ideal for younger or active individuals looking to preserve joint function.
Pain and Instability: For those experiencing knee pain, swelling, or instability due to cartilage damage.
Benefits of Cartilage Restoration
Preserves the Natural Joint: Helps avoid or delay the need for total knee replacement.
Restores Function and Mobility: Improves knee stability, reduces pain, and enhances overall joint function.
Minimally Invasive Options: Many cartilage restoration techniques are less invasive than joint replacement surgery.
