Knee MicrofractureSurgery in Hyderabad
Minimally invasive procedure to stimulate new cartilage growth.
Knee Microfracture Surgery in Hyderabad
Knee Microfracture is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure that harnesses the body's innate regenerative capabilities to heal full-thickness cartilage defects. By creating tiny holes (3-4mm apart) in the exposed bone, we release stem cells that form a marrow-enriched 'super-clot'. Over time, this clot matures into a smooth, durable hybrid of articular-like cartilage and fibrocartilage, significantly reducing pain and swelling while improving joint mobility for focal 'craters' typically less than 2cm² in size.
Surgical Process
Site Debridement
Removing damaged fragments and calcified cartilage to expose a healthy bone base.
Micro-Perforation
Creating small, 3-4mm spaced holes to stimulate the release of marrow-derived stem cells.
Clot Maturation
Protecting the initial marrow-enriched clot as it hardens into a functional repair surface.
Patient Care
Recovery Roadmap
Weight-bearing is limited for 6 weeks to protect the maturing 'super-clot.' Range of motion is started early, but impact activities are avoided for 4-6 months to allow the new tissue to harden into a functional joint surface.
Who Needs This Procedure?
Patients with small (<2cm²), localized cartilage defects (craters)
Individuals experiencing intermittent swelling and joint line discomfort
Patients with 'bone-on-bone' areas that are well-contained by healthy cartilage
Active individuals seeking a biological repair without donor tissue
