Cartilage Repairs
– Meniscal Repair and Replacement

How can you injure your cartilage? What are the common causes, and what are your options once you feel pain and find it hard to walk?

Knee injuries, especially in sports, are common and often lead to pain, swelling, and reduced function. Minor injuries like cartilage tears can be effectively addressed with minimally invasive keyhole surgery. Prompt treatment can prevent muscle wasting and promote optimal recovery. Don’t wait too long to get treated, as the longer you wait, the more the cartilage can tear, increasing the risk of developing osteoarthritis.

Using the latest techniques, doctors aim to repair cartilage whenever possible to lower the future risk of arthritis. While repairs may extend the recovery period due to necessary healing, biologic injections can aid and accelerate this process. Always seek a doctor’s advice and avoid self-diagnosing to ensure the best outcome for your joint health.
