Many patients with knee arthritis want a solution to their problem other than artificialjoint replacement surgery. Arthritis causes joint problems because of theloss of cartilagewithin the knee.

A CASE OF THREE FLOATING CARTILAGES IN THE KNEE-JOINT PRESENTING PECULIAR SYMPTOMSHUBBARD, LEROY W.JBJS
Autologous osteochondral transplantation Cartilage defect Knee jointThe treatment of full-thickness cartilage defects still poses problems. One of the currently applied methods to cover defects in the knee joint is osteochondral autografting. The purpose of this prospective study was to assess the outcome...
CONCLUSION: Tibial cartilage volume is weakly associated with symptoms in knee OA. There is a weak association between loss of tibial cartilage and worsening of symptoms. This suggests that although cartilage is not a major determinant of symptoms in knee OA, it does relate to symptoms....
123 THE CORRELATION BETWEEN CARTILAGE BIOMARKERS AND SYMPTOMS IN PATIENTS WITH KNEE OA AND ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURYTo determine the association of protein intake (by source) and fracture (by skeletal site) among community-dwelling older men...
swelling, and decreased joint function. Treatment of localized cartilage defects is important to prevent further damage to the joint and maintain good knee function. Identifying problems early and treating them correctly can help improve outcomes and reduce the likelihood of more serious joint problems....
Articular cartilage lesions do not always cause symptoms. In fact, surgeons many times happen upon lesions in the knee joint cartilage while doing knee surgery for a completely different problem. Just because there isn't any pain does not mean the lesion is not causing problems. In general, ...

Chondrocytes vary in shape, size and number of cells per area depending on their different anatomical locations, even within different regions of the normal knee joint. Close to the surface they are flatter, smaller and generally have a greater density than the cells deeper in the matrix. Each...
