1. What is a chondral defect of the knee?
A chondral defect is damage to the articular cartilage that covers the ends of the bones in the knee joint. This cartilage helps smooth movement and absorb shock. When damaged, it can cause pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
2. What causes a chondral defect?
Chondral defects may result from sports injuries, trauma, repetitive stress, or gradual wear and tear. In some cases, underlying joint instability or alignment problems may also contribute to cartilage damage.
3. How is a chondral defect diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a detailed clinical examination and imaging tests such as MRI. These help assess the size, depth, and stability of the cartilage injury.
4. What are the treatment options for chondral defects?
Treatment depends on the severity of the defect. Options may include physiotherapy, medications, cartilage restoration procedures, or minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery to repair or stimulate cartilage healing.
