Repairing or replacing a defined area of damaged cartilage in the knee, arthroscopically where possible.
Cartilage Damage Treatment
Cartilage Repair and transplant are operations for a defined area of damaged cartilage: a hole in the surface of the joint rather than wear across the whole of it. The knee is by far the most common joint for them, and they are typically for someone with a contained area of damage rather than widespread Arthritis, more often a younger and active person. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, performs these procedures arthroscopically where possible.
The Rehabilitation Protocol
Ask About a ConsultationThis is the physical therapy protocol the practice gives its own patients after this operation. It is written for the period after surgery, for you and for your therapist, and your own plan is set by Dr. Abbasi at your follow-up.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
Who is a candidate for Cartilage Repair?
A candidate is typically someone with a defined, contained area of damage rather than widespread Arthritis, and more often a younger and active person. The knee is by far the most common joint for it.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery takes months rather than weeks, and a full return to sport is often somewhere between six months and a year. It depends on the technique and the size of the area.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
