Knee Damage / Repair
There are large numbers of patients that have had repeated knee arthroscopic surgeries for torn menisci and ligaments. Many of them through further injuries or lack of full use of their knees due to inactivity result in developing osteoarthritis. In many instances repeated arthroscopies are performed with painful syndromes occurring.
Knee replacement surgery is offered as a method to resolve their problems. This type of procedure has improved greatly over the years. It still has its limitations and problems. There is also a variable recovery period before people can return to their regular life time activities and work.
Other alternatives are now available for consideration in patients dealing with painful chronic osteoarthritis of the knees. These methods of knee regeneration include the following:
- Carticel
- Cartilage Paste Grafting
- Cartilage Transplantation
- Microfracture
