Articular Cartilage Transplantation
Articular cartilage is the tissue that covers the bone’s articulating surfaces. These are those surfaces of the knee which come into contact with other bones. The main function of articular cartilage is to allow for the effective and easy slithering amid the two bony surfaces of the knee joint.
This cartilage may get damaged due to various reasons like direct blow, bad & severe fall, wear & tear, trauma, accidents, lack of proper movement or limited movement of the knee. These injuries are difficult to be diagnosed but only a good knee specialist can do that by properly scrutinizing and assessing the damage.
Also, since the articular cartilage has no direct blood supply, so it becomes very difficult to heal it on its own. Consequently, cartilage transplant of the knee becomes important as it helps to replace the impaired cartilage, restoring the normal functioning of the knee.
Needless to say, cartilage transplant of the knee is a vital treatment for those people who have cartilage injuries or damages. If you are in search of a good consultant knee surgeon, then we can provide the right assistance to you with our several years of experience & expertise.
