| Knee Arthritis |
| The end stage of cartilage injury or degeneration is arthritis. Many patients suffer for years with arthritis that limits even the simplest activities. For these patients, current cartilage restoration procedures may not apply. These patients have diffuse involvement of cartilage degeneration as opposed to focal injury. |
| When patients have developed established arthritis, joint replacement, not restoration, procedures are recommended. The WNYCRC provides the entire spectrum of care for knee cartilage injury and thus also offers a number of joint replacement options. |
