High speed metal-like object is used to remove the damaged cartilage. This procedure is performed using an arthroscope.

Cartilage preservation techniques can be defined as surgical measures employed to restore deteriorating joint cartilage in order to prevent or delay joint replacement surgery such as knee and hip replacement.

Cartilage cell implantation is a technique of transplanting healthy cartilage cells to replace damaged cartilage cells and restore normal functioning of the joint. It is usually performed on the knee joint but may also be used to treat the shoulder and ankle joints.

In this method, a piece of healthy cartilage from other site is removed using arthroscopic technique and is cultured in laboratory. Cultured cells form a larger patch which is then implanted in the damaged part by open surgery.

Cartilage cell transplantation is a technique of transplanting healthy cartilage cells to replace damaged cartilage cells. These procedures are recommended for young individuals with a single articular defect. It is usually performed on the knee joint but may also be used to treat the shoulder and ankle joints.

Cartilage microfracture is a surgical procedure performed to replace the worn-out articular cartilage with new cartilage.

An intra-articular joint injection is a non-surgical procedure used to treat pain and inflammation in your joints. It involves injection of specific therapeutic agents which include corticosteroids, viscosupplements, and blood-derived products into the affected joint.
