Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hyaluronic Acid Injections in Early Chondral Lesions

 

Early-stage chondral lesions can often be managed with non-surgical techniques. Among these, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have gained attention for their beneficial effects.

 

PRP therapy uses growth factors from the patient’s own blood to aid in tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Hyaluronic acid injections help top up the natural cushioning fluid in the joint, which improves lubrication, shock absorption, and mobility.

 

Research suggests these treatments may reduce pain and improve joint function in people with early cartilage damage. However, these interventions are most effective when combined with physical therapy and other supportive care measures. Consulting with a healthcare provider can determine if PRP or HA injections are appropriate for a given case, helping to delay surgery and support an active lifestyle.

 

To understand whether Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hyaluronic Acid injections are suitable for your condition, you can consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, orthopedic surgeon in Delhi.

The Role of MRI and Arthroscopy in Precise Diagnosis of Articular Cartilage Damage

 

Diagnosing cartilage lesions can be a challenge since damaged cartilage doesn’t produce immediate symptoms or show up clearly on basic X-rays. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the gold standard, offering detailed images of cartilage thickness, surface breakdown, and underlying bone reaction.

 

When MRI findings are uncertain or a more definitive assessment is needed, diagnostic arthroscopy provides direct visualization. This minimally invasive procedure enables the clinician to inspect the cartilage in detail and even treat the area if necessary.

 

A combined approach with MRI and arthroscopy improves the accuracy of diagnosis and helps shape effective treatment plans. Early and targeted intervention guided by precise diagnostics can prevent progression to osteoarthritis and enhance long-term joint function.

 

For more information or a detailed evaluation of articular cartilage damage, book a consultation with Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a renowned orthopedic and joint replacement specialist in Delhi.

Differentiating Between Traumatic and Degenerative Chondral Lesions: Causes, Symptoms, and Classification

 

Articular cartilage damage, or chondral lesions, can have multiple origins. Traumatic lesions usually result from specific injuries such as sports accidents or falls, often affecting younger and active people. These injuries cause sudden joint pain, swelling, and sensations like catching or locking within the joint.

 

Degenerative chondral lesions, by contrast, arise slowly over years due to wear and tear. They are more common in older adults and tend to cause gradual stiffness, intermittent pain, and a steady loss of joint function.

 

Distinguishing between these lesion types relies on patient history, clinical examination, and imaging studies. Traumatic lesions may respond well to targeted repair, while degenerative cases often benefit from conservative measures. Early identification makes it possible to customize solutions and prevent further joint deterioration. Persistent joint pain or dysfunction should prompt further evaluation to protect joint health.

 

If you’re experiencing knee pain or suspect a chondral lesion, it’s best to seek professional advice. Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment guidance.
