Cartilage Transplantation

Cartilage transplantation is a medical procedure used to repair damaged or worn cartilage in joints, such as the knee. It involves transplanting healthy cartilage tissue or cells from another area of the body or a donor to the damaged spot. The goal is to restore smooth, pain-free joint function and prevent further deterioration. This technique is often used for athletes or individuals with significant cartilage loss due to injury or arthritis. The procedure can improve joint movement and reduce pain, helping people return to daily activities with better joint health.
