Ortho | Articular Cartilage Repair

Articular cartilage covering the end of the bone is crucial for smooth joint function. Tears and damage to this delicate tissue cause joint pain and can significantly impact quality of life. Advanced techniques such as minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures allow orthopedic specialists to offer effective solutions for articular cartilage repair.

Dr. Aaron Schwartz performs articular cartilage repair using the BioCartilage technique, which allows him to precisely remove damaged tissue and shape a new extracellular matrix with allografted articular cartilage.
