At UPMC Sports Surgery Clinic, we understand the critical role of articular cartilage in maintaining joint health.
Losing cartilage in certain areas can often interfere with the normal movement of joints and limbs. This can result in pain and being less able to carry out regular daily or sporting activities.
In some cases, it may be possible for us to fill missing sections with new cartilage which provides new protection for the joint surface. However, in cases where there are more extensive areas of missing or damaged cartilage, there is an increased likelihood of arthritis and other management options may have to be explored.
