Chondroplasty is one such technique that is used to help smooth out damaged, irregular shaped cartilage in order to provide a smoother gliding surface for the joint. This can be effective in reducing the symptoms associated with the injury and can prevent further propagation of the chondral injury.
The articular cartilage (lining of the knee joint) can be damaged by either an acute injury or repetitive wear and tear. Articular cartilage has very poor potential to repair itself once it has been damaged. There are a number of surgical options available to treat areas of cartilage damage. The most commonly carried out procedure is a chondroplasty. This term covers a number of simple techniques aimed at reshaping and smoothing-off of any areas of damage to the articular cartilage. Chondroplasty involves removing loose flaps of cartilage (this can cause a sensation of catching and pain in the knee). Micro-instruments are inserted into the knee and used to take away any loose fragments of articular cartilage and stabilise the remaining tissue.
