Cartilage Regeneration Surgery

Cartilage Regeneration Surgery

Knee Pain Assessment is a specialized orthopedic service focused on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment for individuals experiencing knee discomfort. Knee pain can result from injuries, overuse, or underlying conditions such as arthritis. Early assessment is crucial to prevent further damage, improve mobility, and restore optimal knee function. Under the guidance of Dr. Nithin Kumar Bejjanki, the service combines clinical evaluation, advanced imaging, and individualized care plans to address the root cause of pain and ensure effective recovery.

Cartilage Regeneration Surgery is recommended for patients experiencing:

  • Persistent joint pain and stiffness

  • Swelling or discomfort during movement

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Cartilage defects or degeneration from trauma or arthritis

  • Joint instability or locking

  • Early-stage osteoarthritis or localized cartilage loss

The goal is to regenerate healthy cartilage, relieve pain, and restore smooth joint function.

Non-Surgical / Conservative Approaches:

  • Physical therapy to strengthen supporting muscles

  • Pain management with medications or injections

  • Activity modification to reduce joint stress

  • Biologic therapies like PRP or stem cell injections to support cartilage healing

Surgical / Regenerative Interventions:

  • Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI): Patient’s own cartilage cells are cultured and reimplanted

  • Osteochondral Autograft or Allograft Transplantation: Healthy cartilage transplanted to damaged areas

  • Microfracture Surgery: Stimulates new cartilage formation by creating small holes in the bone

  • Combination Biologic Approaches: PRP or stem cell therapy used alongside surgery to enhance regeneration

Treatment is tailored to the defect size, joint, patient age, and activity level to achieve optimal results.

  1. Comprehensive Assessment: Clinical evaluation, imaging (MRI, X-ray) to assess cartilage damage

  2. Surgical Planning: Selection of suitable regenerative technique for the patient’s specific condition

  3. Surgical Procedure: Arthroscopic or open surgery to repair, graft, or implant cartilage

  4. Closure & Dressing: Incisions closed, joint stabilized with brace or bandage

  5. Postoperative Rehabilitation: Gradual physiotherapy for restoring range of motion, strength, and function

  6. Follow-Up: Regular monitoring of cartilage regeneration, joint function, and pain relief

The procedure aims to restore healthy cartilage, prevent progression of joint degeneration, and improve long-term joint mobility.

Q1: How long does recovery take after cartilage regeneration surgery?
A: Recovery varies: 4–6 weeks for minor arthroscopic procedures, 3–6 months for graft or implantation surgeries.

Q2: Can I return to sports?
A: Gradual return is possible after 3–6 months, depending on surgery type and rehabilitation progress.

Q3: Is surgery painful?
A: Mild discomfort is expected; managed with pain medications and structured physiotherapy.

Q4: Are non-surgical treatments effective?
A: Mild cartilage defects may respond to regenerative therapies, but moderate-to-severe damage often requires surgery.

Q5: How long does regenerated cartilage last?
A: With proper rehab and joint care, results can last many years, delaying arthritis progression.

Cartilage Regeneration Surgery offers state-of-the-art treatment to restore joint function, relieve pain, and improve long-term mobility and quality of life.
