What is Chondroplasty?
Chondroplasty is a surgical procedure to repair and reshape damaged cartilage in a joint. In this procedure degenerative cartilage is smoothened and any unstable flaps of cartilage are trimmed.
A damaged cartilage does not heal on its own because of lack of proper blood supply. Hence, it is extremely necessary to correct the condition through medical intervention. A Chondroplasty helps in the cartilage restoration process.
