Our Cartilage services

Cartilage Repair

Cartilage repair surgery is often done arthroscopically, which is done using a tiny camera to get a clear view of the inside of your knee. Small surgical instruments are then used to safely and precisely trim, smooth, or remove cartilage.

Cartilage regeneration

Cartilage regeneration is a newer, more technologically advanced method of treatment for cartilage damage that is in high demand. It broadly speaking involves taking healthy cartilage cells from the knee and injecting them into the damaged area to regenerate with the surrounding cartilage.

Cartilage replacement

The cartilage replacement procedure is minimally invasive and completed using keyhole surgical techniques. It aims to find the defect in the cartilage, freshen it, and replace it with liquid cartilage to cure the defect in the joint. New cartilage then grows onto the liquid and replaces the defected cartilage.

What is cartilage?

Cartilage is strong and flexible connective tissue that works to protect your bones when using your joints to prevent them from rubbing together. It can become damaged over time from wear and tear through repetitive movement, arthritis, or as a result of an injury. Cartilage damage is a common problem in the knee joint and if left untreated, it can lead to a full knee replacement.

Symptoms of knee cartilage damage

There are multiple common symptoms you might be experiencing if you have damage to your cartilage including:

· Stiffness and less range of movement in the joint
· Pain in the knee joint (both when resting and during movement)
· Swelling in your knee
· The joint gives way, locks, or catches
· A clicking or grinding sensation in the knee
