Osteochondral Grafting

Osteochondral grafting is a surgical procedure used to repair damaged cartilage and underlying bone in joints, often the knee. It involves transplanting healthy cartilage and bone tissue from a non-weight-bearing area of the same joint or a donor to the damaged site. This procedure helps restore joint surface integrity, reduce pain, and improve function by replacing diseased or injured tissue with healthy tissue that can withstand joint movement. It’s typically used for localized cartilage injuries and aims to promote natural healing and long-term joint health.
