Articular cartilage repair refers to a group of treatments aimed at repairing the surface of a joint's hyaline cartilage after damage. None of the available techniques perfectly restores the original cartilage, but they have shown positive results for patients with cartilage damage, providing measurable pain relief, slowing further deterioration, and in some cases delaying the need for a full joint replacement such as a knee replacement.
