Effective knee cartilage transplant surgery for pain relief
A knee cartilage transplant is a surgical procedure in which damaged or missing cartilage in the knee joint is replaced with healthy cartilage from a donor. The surgery involves removing a small piece of healthy cartilage from a non-weight bearing area of the knee joint and transplanting it to the damaged area. The transplanted cartilage is then secured in place with sutures or other fixation devices. The goal of the procedure is to reduce pain, improve joint function, and prevent further damage to the knee joint. Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual’s overall health, but typically involves physical therapy and rehabilitation to help restore strength and mobility to the knee. Knee cartilage transplants are typically recommended for younger patients with limited damage to the knee joint who are not yet candidates for knee replacement surgery.
