Knee cartilage injuries
Advanced biologic therapies designed to support cartilage healing and improve joint function without invasive procedures.
Understanding the condition
Knee Cartilage Injury Treatment
Loss or damage of cartilage can lead to joint pain and early arthritis. Cartilage damage often starts with an injury or years of wear, and progresses as the joint loses its cushioning.
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate provides a rich source of stem cells and growth factors that may help repair damaged cartilage. Treatment is delivered under ultrasound or X-ray guidance and followed by a personalized rehabilitation plan.
Non-surgical options
What treatment can include
- Image-guided bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)
- Strength and mobility training
- Activity modification
- Follow-up to track your progress
Every treatment plan begins with a detailed assessment to determine the most appropriate course of care.
Recovery timeline
What to expect after treatment
All patients go home the same day. Mild soreness at the bone marrow collection site and injection areas is common for several days, as the healing process begins with a natural inflammatory response.
-
First few days
Mild soreness or stiffness is typical.
-
Weeks 2–6
Gradual improvement in pain, mobility, and daily function.
-
Months 2–6
Continued healing as stem cells and growth factors support tissue repair.
-

Patient reviews
Knee patients in their words
Great experience with Dr. Movva — office staff fantastic. Had stem cells placed 11 years ago with great results. Returned this week to have 2 joints redone plus added a shoulder.
The stem cell and injections have improved my knees and allowed me to resume normal lifestyle activities I was not able to do without braces prior.
I wouldn’t think of seeing anyone else for joint repair! No knee replacements for me. Thank you, Dr. Movva and crew.

Can regenerative treatments help me avoid surgery?
Many patients seek regenerative orthopedic care because they want to delay or avoid surgery whenever appropriate. While surgery may still be necessary in some cases, our goal is to explore advanced non-surgical options that may help relieve pain, improve function, and support natural healing before considering surgical intervention.
Can regenerative treatments help if I've already been told I need surgery?
Some patients who have been advised to undergo surgery may still benefit from a regenerative orthopedic evaluation. Depending on the condition and its severity, advanced non-surgical treatments may be an option to help improve function or potentially delay surgery. However, surgery remains the best treatment for some conditions, and recommendations are made on an individual basis.
How long before I notice improvement?
Healing is a gradual biological process. Some patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, while others continue to experience progress over several months as damaged tissues respond to regenerative treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your diagnosis, severity of injury, treatment goals, and healing response. Some patients achieve their desired outcome after a single procedure, while others may benefit from a staged treatment plan.
