When knee cartilage repair is worth consideringWhen knee cartilage repair is worth considering
Cartilage lacks a blood supply and cannot self-heal, but surgical or minimally invasive repair can restore focal defects in otherwise healthy joints, potentially delaying knee replacement by years or decades.Cartilage lacks a blood supply and cannot self-heal, but surgical or minimally invasive repair can restore focal defects in otherwise healthy joints, potentially delaying knee replacement by years or decades.
