Cartilage Transplantation

Dr. Vahid Vahabzadeh – Orthopedic & Trauma Surgeon

Cartilage damage in the knee or hip can cause persistent pain, swelling, and reduced joint function. Unlike arthritis-related conditions, cartilage injuries often affect younger or physically active patients and may worsen over time if left untreated.

Cartilage transplantation in Germany is a specialized surgical option aimed at restoring damaged cartilage and preserving the natural joint. Dr. Vahid Vahabzadeh offers cartilage transplantation based on precise diagnosis, international medical standards, and a patient-specific treatment plan.

When Is Cartilage Transplantation Considered?

Cartilage transplantation may be considered in patients with:

  • Localized cartilage defects in the knee or hip

  • Persistent joint pain during activity or weight-bearing

  • Swelling or catching sensations in the joint

  • Cartilage damage caused by sports injuries or trauma

  • Symptoms that do not improve with physiotherapy or injections

  • Early-stage joint degeneration without advanced arthritis

Cartilage Transplantation Procedures

The choice of cartilage transplantation technique depends on the size, location, and cause of the cartilage defect.
