Acting as a shock absorber, it cushions bones reduces friction and helps maintain the right balance of synovial fluid\u2014the lubricant that keeps joints moving seamlessly. Unfortunately, this vital tissue is prone to damage, whether from gradual wear and tear, as seen in osteoarthritis, or sudden injuries like meniscus tears during sports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Surgical repair has been the standard approach to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> address damaged cartilage for years. However, surgery comes with risks, extended recovery times, and limitations, particularly for older adults or individuals with other health issues.
