Bert especially cares for the weekend athletes and for professional athletes as well. In active individuals, cartilage defects have come to light especially among those who are between 25 and 55 years of age from 60 to 85 percent of time at time of their knee arthroscopy. This Orthopedic Surgeon says that most often, minor changes will be visualized that consist of joint surface roughening when meniscus gets removed. This is ideally the time for beginning injection treatment for preventing further deterioration as well as promotes improvement in existing hyaline cartilage. Procedures like cartilage transplant, un-weighing of bone, and/or treatment using injection therapy will improve cartilage formation dramatically of joint surfaces and this has been noticed in pre and post treatment. It is vital obtaining appropriate consultation with surgeon who is experienced in different cartilage restoration procedures prior to proceeding with any sort of aggressive surgical procedures.
