At Rapha Sports and Regenerative Orthopaedics, we specialize in cartilage restoration procedures that aim to repair or regenerate damaged joint cartilage—helping patients avoid or delay joint replacement and return to active living.
Cartilage damage, often caused by injury or early arthritis, does not heal on its own. Our advanced techniques focus on restoring the smooth joint surface to relieve pain and improve mobility.
Common Procedures Include:
Microfracture
Stimulates the growth of new cartilage by creating small holes in the bone beneath the damaged area.
Osteochondral Autograft Transfer (OATS)
Transfers healthy cartilage from a non-weight-bearing area to the damaged site.
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI)
Uses a patient’s own cartilage cells, grown in a lab, and implanted back into the joint.
Stem Cell Therapy / Biologic Injections
Uses regenerative medicine to support cartilage healing and reduce inflammation.
