Cartilage Restoration
Michael Benke, M.D., Oscar Vazquez, M.D., and Michael Gross, M.D. specialize in breakthrough cartilage restoration techniques that are vastly improving the lives of our patients by relieving pain and allowing better function. These new procedures aim to stimulate new cartilage growth or to replace or resurface the existing cartilage. Cartilage stimulation techniques include microfracture, Biocartilage (Arthrex) and Cartiform (Arthrex). Cartilage resurfacing techniques include DeNovo NT (Zimmer), Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI), Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation, and Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation. In many cases, these procedures can delay or prevent the onset of arthritis.
