Catrilage Restoration -Department of Orthopedics

Joints are connections where two bones meet to provide support and mobility. Any damage to the joint and its surrounding tissues, due to disease or injury can interfere with movement and cause pain.

Articular Cartilage is the white tissue lining the end of bones where these bones connect to form joints. Cartilage acts as cushioning material and helps in smooth gliding of bones during movement.

Cartilage Degeneration refers to the deterioration of the articular cartilage tissue lining the ends of bones where these bones connect to form joints.

Arthritis is a general term covering more than 100 different conditions. The term arthritis literally means inflammation of a joint, but is generally used to describe any condition in which there is damage to the cartilage.
