Chondral Repair of the Knee is a surgical procedure aimed at treating damaged articular cartilage in the knee joint. Articular cartilage covers the ends of bones in the knee, allowing smooth movement and absorbing shock. Damage to this cartilage, often caused by injury, wear and tear, or degenerative conditions, can result in pain, swelling, and impaired joint function.
Chondral repair techniques include microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), osteochondral autograft or allograft transplantation, and newer regenerative methods like matrix-assisted procedures. The goal is to restore cartilage, alleviate symptoms, and improve joint function. Recovery typically involves physical therapy and gradual return to activity.
