Articular Cartilage Injury Treatment at Kauvery

Precision Repair. Joint Preservation. Long-Term Mobility.

Articular cartilage injuries are one of the most common causes of persistent knee, ankle, shoulder and hip pain — especially in athletes and active individuals. When this smooth, protective surface inside the joint gets damaged, every movement becomes painful, stiff, or unstable.

At Kauvery, our internationally trained arthroscopy specialists focus on preserving your natural cartilage, restoring smooth joint movement, and ensuring long-term durability through advanced minimally invasive procedures.

What is an Articular Cartilage Injury?

Articular cartilage is the soft, smooth tissue that cushions your joints. When damaged due to injury, wear-and-tear, or sports trauma, it can lead to:

  • Sharp joint pain
  • Clicking or catching sensation
  • Swelling after activity
  • Reduced flexibility
  • Joint stiffness
  • Difficulty bearing weight
  • Early onset arthritis if untreated

Our early-diagnosis protocols ensure cartilage injuries are detected accurately using advanced imaging and arthroscopic assessment.

Common Causes

  • Sudden sports injuries
  • Twisting accidents
  • Falls
  • Meniscal or ligament injuries
  • Repeated stress or overuse
  • Previous knee or shoulder trauma

Frequently Asked Questions

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a tiny camera is inserted into the joint through small incisions to diagnose and treat ligament, cartilage, and soft-tissue injuries with exceptional precision.

Arthroscopy is commonly used for the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and elbow. Each procedure is tailored to the specific injury and joint anatomy.

Because it offers:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Less pain
  • Minimal blood loss
  • Faster healing
  • Reduced scarring
  • Lower risk of complications
  • Faster return to routine and sports

You may need arthroscopy if you have:

  • Persistent joint pain
  • Instability
  • Mechanical symptoms (clicking, locking, catching)
  • Swelling that keeps returning
  • Failed physiotherapy or medication

Your specialist will guide you after examination and imaging.

It is minimally invasive, but still a precision surgical procedure performed under anaesthesia. Recovery is significantly faster than traditional surgery.

  • ACL / PCL tears
  • Meniscus tears
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Shoulder dislocations
  • Labral tears
  • Hip impingement (FAI)
  • Ankle instability
  • Elbow stiffness and loose bodies
  • Cartilage injuries

Most arthroscopy procedures take 30–90 minutes, depending on the complexity.

Most patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours.

Many patients walk the same day, depending on the type of procedure performed.

Yes. Structured rehabilitation is essential for restoring strength, flexibility, balance, and long-term joint performance.
