Cartilage

HIP PROSTHESISPAINLESS SURGERYSTATE-OF-THE-ART ARTHROSCOPY

The hip cartilage covers both the femoral head and the pelvic socket where they articulate. This tissue enables smooth joint movement and prevents the bones from rubbing against each other.

When can cartilage injuries occur?

Cartilage lesions are typically caused by wear and tear or acute injuries, such as femoroacetabular impingement, labral tears, osteochondritis dissecans, hip dysplasia, trauma, and degenerative diseases. These injuries often manifest as groin pain.

How can hip cartilage be repaired?

One treatment used to regenerate hip cartilage is mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy. This involves injecting mesenchymal stem cells into the hip joint, promoting the formation of new cartilage cells. This technique helps restore the physical properties damaged by conditions such as osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis.
