Cartilage Transplant (Oats Allograft or Bulk Allograft)
Due to injury, cartilage in the knee may have been removed or damaged and can become increasingly painful over time. Like cartilage repair, cartilage transplant uses donor tissue to replace the missing or damaged cartilage. Patients who are younger and have not yet developed arthritis in the joint may benefit from cartilage transplant surgery. This kind of transplant can help alleviate pain, providing more cushion to the joint as it functions.
