A torn meniscus concentrates compressive force onto damaged tissue rather than spreading it evenly; gentle walking on flat ground is generally safe, but escalating pain, rapid swelling, locking, or giving way warrant immediate off-loading.
ChondroFiller repair depends on progenitor cells migrating into a collagen scaffold and laying down new cartilage tissue over weeks — a process disrupted by premature loading or anti-inflammatory medication, which is why recovery spans distinct protection, strengthening, and return-to-activity phases.
Post-injection soreness and swelling in the first 72 hours reflect the body recruiting repair cells to the collagen scaffold, while the actual cartilage regeneration continues for approximately twelve months as progenitor cells differentiate within the defect.
