Together, they break down:     •    What cartilage actually does and why it’s so difficult to repair     •    What happens when it’s damaged, whether from injury or long-term degeneration     •    The full spectrum of treatment options, from early intervention to advanced restoration procedures     •     Dr. Friedman also explains:     •    Who is a candidate for cartilage restoration and who isn’t     •    The difference between short-term symptom relief and structural repair     •    How procedures like MACI and osteochondral grafting are helping patients stay active and delay or avoid knee replacement     •    What’s on the horizon, including innovations like full patella resurfacing You’ll also get a realistic look at recovery timelines, outcomes, and what it actually takes to return to running, sports, and an active lifestyle.
