Leading-Edge Cartilage Restoration Techniques

At SOAR Clinic of Oregon, we understand the crucial role healthy cartilage plays in maintaining active lifestyles. Dr. Kevin J. Murphy employs a variety of advanced techniques designed to repair or replace damaged cartilage, thus alleviating pain, restoring joint function, and preventing further joint deterioration.

Conditions that Benefit from Cartilage Restoration:

  • Early to Moderate Osteoarthritis: Slowing the disease’s progression by repairing the cartilage before extensive damage occurs.
  • Sports-related Cartilage Injuries: Addressing acute or chronic injuries common in athletes, allowing them to return to high levels of performance.
  • Post-traumatic Cartilage Damage: From severe impacts or accidents that have led to joint deterioration.

Advanced Cartilage Restoration Procedures Include:

  • Microfracture Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure where tiny fractures are made in the bone beneath the damaged cartilage to stimulate new growth.
  • Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI): Involves harvesting cartilage cells from the patient, cultivating them in a lab, and re-implanting them into the damaged area.
  • Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation: This technique involves transferring cartilage from a non-weight-bearing area of the joint to the damaged area.
  • Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation: Using cartilage from a donor to replace severely damaged cartilage and underlying bone.
