Cartilage Transplantation

Cartilage transplantation is proving to be the next major area of advancement in the field of orthopaedic surgery.

The Surgeons at Bayside have been utilizing various techniques for cartilage transplantation for over the past 7 years.

Articular Cartilage defects, which are also referred to as Focal Arthritis can present themselves in young active patients who may not be candidates for joint replacement techniques.

Articular Cartilage transfer and transplantation provides patients with the opportunity for joint restoration without replacing the joint with artificial materials.

Many of these transplant procedures can be performed using Arthroscopy, through small one inch incisions, in an outpatient setting.

We are excited to be one of the only Orthopaedic practices offering these services in the south Alabama region.
