Knee cartilage repair versus stem cell therapyKnee cartilage repair versus stem cell therapy
Established cartilage repair using autologous chondrocytes shows 10–17 year durability for focalkneedefects; mesenchymal stem cell therapies have not been tested in large-scale trials against them.Established cartilage repair using autologous chondrocytes shows 10–17 year durability for focal knee defects; mesenchymal stem cell therapies have not been tested in large-scale trials against them.
ChondroFiller injection versus knee replacement for focal defectsChondroFiller injection versus knee replacement for focal defects
ChondroFiller, a gelling collagen scaffold that recruits the patient's own cells to repair cartilage, suits isolated focal defects;kneereplacement addresses widespread multi-compartment osteoarthritis.ChondroFiller, a gelling collagen scaffold that recruits the patient's own cells to repair cartilage, suits isolated focal defects; knee replacement addresses widespread multi-compartment osteoarthritis.
Hip pain after knee replacementHip pain after knee replacement
Hip pain afterkneereplacement is common, stemming from compensation patterns; hip abductor strengthening during rehabilitation significantly improves recovery.Hip pain after knee replacement is common, stemming from compensation patterns; hip abductor strengthening during rehabilitation significantly improves recovery.
Osteochondral Allograft for Post-Traumatic Knee DefectsOsteochondral Allograft for Post-Traumatic Knee Defects
Osteochondral allograft restores both the cartilage surface and the bone beneath in a single operation for post-traumatickneeinjuries — a combination other procedures cannot deliver.Osteochondral allograft restores both the cartilage surface and the bone beneath in a single operation for post-traumatic knee injuries — a combination other procedures cannot deliver.
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 delayingkneereplacement 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.
The cost of leaving a knee cartilage defect untreatedThe cost of leaving a knee cartilage defect untreated
Kneecartilage defects do not heal because cartilage lacks blood supply; defects widen under load with each step, spreading damage to surrounding tissue and progressing towards osteoarthritis if untreated.Knee cartilage defects do not heal because cartilage lacks blood supply; defects widen under load with each step, spreading damage to surrounding tissue and progressing towards osteoarthritis if untreated.
