Market Definition:
The knee is the largest joint in the body. The upper and lower bones of the knee are separated by two discs (menisci). The upper leg bone (femur) and the lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) are connected by ligaments and tendons. The cartilage is the most common type of connective tissue. It is found in various forms throughout our joints, spine, bones, ears, lungs, and nose. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue which coats the surfaces of the bones in our joints and protects them against impact to maintain joint mobility fluid.
The knee cartilage repair is a procedure which involves repairing damaged cartilage while also smoothing the tissues remaining surface. The cartilage repair surgery, which attempts to restore cartilage tissue and function to avoid long-term osteoarthritis (OA), is an appropriate treatment choice for focal full-thickness cartilage abnormalities in the knee. The osteotomy, knee replacement, microfracture are some of the most common knee cartilage repair techniques. The surgical techniques or less prevalent surgical procedures, such as allograft osteochondral transplantation, autologous chondrocyte implantation and artificial scaffolds, are sometimes utilized to repair cartilage injury.
