Cartilage restoration in Islamabad: Repair. Restore. Rejoice
Cartilage restoration is an approach designed to rebuild the destroyed cushion tissues in the joint. Cartilage works as a shock absorber that prevents the rubbing of joints and reduces friction between them, making them stable. However, in some traumatic incidents, these cushions may get affected and lose their strength.
Cartilage repair therapy helps relieve the discomfort and fix the movements, making them stable and functional again.

Key Purposes of Cartilage Reconstruction:
The knee cartilage restoration therapy strives to deliver.
- Build worn-out or impaired cushion tissue
- Alleviate the ache induced by cartilage defects
- Improve pivot point functionality
- Prevent osteoarthritis and degeneration
- Prevent the need for joint replacement
Expected Outcomes of Cartilage Restoration Process:
The recuperation duration for a cartilage restoration therapy is based on the approach used for the reconstruction. Generally, the treated area can heal in several weeks to months. You can resume your normal physical activities six months post-surgery, but for a complete comeback to your daily routine and sports, you should wait at least a year or more until the recuperation is done. Recuperation may be affected by the patient’s age, immunity, and general health condition of any patient.
Advantages of Undergoing Cartilage Restoration:
- Decreases the unease and soreness in the knees
- Allow flexible movements of the joint
- Customisable approach
- Facilitates immobility, swelling, and discomfort
- Enhance overall physical health
- Faster improvements and rarer complications

Techniques for Cartilage Restoration Therapy:
Multiple techniques are used for the restoration and repair of damaged cartilage.
Approaches | Mechanism | Recovery period |
Microfracture | A process where small openings are made in the knees that helps in transferring the bone marrow to the defective region. It helps build fibrocartilage, which will boost the body’s regenerative capability. Useful for little damage and small injuries. | You can get back to sports and normal movements in 6-12 months. |
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation(ACI) | The healthy articular cartilage is extracted from the body of the same person being treated. These cells are expanded in the laboratory. An open surgery is performed, and then the impaired cushion tissue is removed, and new healthy tissue is extracted and fixed in its place. It is then secured by a biodegradable membrane. Suitable for people with acute damage. | Takes 9-12 months. |
Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation | Joint endoscopy is carried out to evaluate the extent of the impairment and to extract the defective tissue. Osteochondral plugs are taken out from the less axial loading spot of the joint. Punctures are created at the damaged site with the help of drilling. The extracted plugs are then implanted and fitted into the donor site. | Takes 6-9 months with starting early motion to lessen the risk of hardening. |
Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation | This process works the same as ACI, in which healthy cartilage is taken out from the patient’s knee. In the second step, porcine collagen bilayer is embedded with the expanded chondrocytes. It is then secured with fibrin glue. | You can start light activities in 4-6 months, but for a complete recovery, you can take 9-12 months. |
Stem Cell Therapy | Stem cells are introduced from a donor or the individual’s body. These can differentiate into various cell types and then be used for the injured part. It encourages renewal and restoration. | Heals in 4-6 months. |
Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation | In this approach, an allograft is received from a donor, neutralized, and then cut according to the affected area’s needs. The surgeon will adjust the allograft at the specified area. These are then stabilized in the area. The incision is closed, and a dressing is applied to the area. | 9-12 months as ACI and MACI. |
