What is Cartilage Defect Surgery?

Cartilage is a firm, rubbery tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints and allows for smooth and pain-free movement.

Cartilage defects occur when there is damage or loss of cartilage in a joint, which can cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. In severe cases, cartilage defects can lead to the development of arthritis.

Cartilage defect surgery, also known as cartilage restoration surgery, is a surgical procedure that aims to repair or replace damaged or lost cartilage in a joint. There are several types of cartilage defect surgery, including microfracture, osteochondral autograft transplantation, and osteochondral allograft transplantation. The specific type of surgery used depends on the size and location of the cartilage defect, as well as the patient’s age and overall health.

UK's Leading Consultants

Cartilage defect surgery can be highly effective in restoring joint function and reducing pain. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and damage to surrounding tissues.

It is important for patients to carefully follow their surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.

Benefits

Cartilage Defect Surgery can ensure recovery for conditions such as:

Osteoarthritis

Chondral Surgery can be used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee by realigning the bones to reduce stress on the damaged joint surface.

Avascular necrosis

Avascular necrosis causes bone tissue death due to disrupted blood supply. Chondral surgery can repair cartilage in the affected joint.

Traumatic injury

Cartilage damage from trauma, like sports or car accidents, can be repaired or replaced through chondral surgery.

Chondromalacia patellae

Chondromalacia patellae causes knee pain and stiffness due to softening of the kneecap’s underside cartilage, treatable by chondral surgery.

Osteochondritis dissecans

Osteochondritis dissecans causes loose fragments of bone and cartilage in the joint, treated by chondral surgery.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis causes joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness, treatable by chondral surgery to repair or replace cartilage.
