WHAT IS SUBCHONDROPLASTY FOR THE KNEE AND ANKLE

Our ankle and knee joints are covered by articular cartilage, which is a smooth, white tissue covering the ends of bones where they come into contact with one another, to enable the bones to glide over each other with very little friction.

Subchondroplasty means ‘surgical repair below the cartilage’ and is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can be done for painful bone marrow lesions beneath joint cartilages.
