Cartilage Regeneration
With newer advancements in the use of growth factors and biologics like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy, to promote cartilage repair and regeneration, studies have shown restoration of damaged tissues and improvement in joint function.
Some medications target specific molecular pathways involved in cartilage breakdown, slowing disease progression. These Regenerative Therapies provide hope for patients with early to moderate arthritis, potentially reducing pain, enhancing mobility, and delaying or even avoiding the need for surgical intervention.
Non-Surgical Treatment
Latest research in American Scientific Journals have reported the use of biological molecules like chondroitin sulfate in managing arthritis by slowing cartilage damage. It supports cartilage health by reducing inflammation and promoting repair, helping to slow the disease’s progression.
When paired with specific quadriceps exercises, which strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee, joint stability improves, reducing pressure on the cartilage.
This combination helps alleviate pain, enhances joint function, and delays or avoids the need for surgical intervention.
Chondrocyte Implantation
Chondrocyte implantation is an advanced surgical technique aimed at preserving joint health by repairing damaged cartilage.
It involves harvesting healthy cartilage cells (chondrocytes) from the patient and then implanting them into areas of cartilage loss. This procedure promotes the regeneration of new, healthy cartilage, making it an ideal option for younger patients or those with localized cartilage damage.
Chondrocyte implantation helps to restore joint function, relieve pain, and delay or prevent the need for more invasive procedures, offering a long-term solution for joint preservation and improved mobility.
