Introduction
Physical Therapy in Hazle Township for Knee
Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's patient resource about Articular Cartilage Problems of the Knee.
Articular cartilage problems in the knee joint are common. Injured areas, called lesions, often show up as tears or pot holes in the surface of the cartilage. If a tear goes all the way through the cartilage, surgeons call it a full-thickness lesion. When this happens, surgery is usually recommended. However, these operations are challenging. Repair and rehabilitation are difficult. Your surgeon will consider many factors when determining the procedure that's best for you.
This guide will help you understand:
- what your surgeon hopes to achieve
- what happens during the procedure
- what to expect after surgery
