Ankle cartilage injuries need to be treated. If left alone they can lead to arthritis and need for either ankle replacements or ankle fusions. We have developed techniques that can repair ankle cartilage defects also known as osteochondral defects of the talus ( OCD of the Talus). We use cryo-preserved cartilage that are loaded with cells that help the formation and growth of new healthy cartilage. If you have ankle joint pain and have been diagnosed with an ankle cartilage injury then a cartilage repair procedure may be the right thing for you.
