Suggest Treatment For Defective Cartilage After An Arthroscopic Surgery

I had arthroscopic surgery on my left knee for meniscal damage. At that time, I decided to go ahead with the cartilage harvesting for future transplant. However, after understanding the efficacy (too late obviously), I chose no to have my cartilage transplanted. What are my options now with a defect in my cartilage?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in absence of symptoms it is just nothing to worry, you took the right decision not to go for transplantation, you can use the knee brace for that and every thing would be okay with the time, stop bending the knee joint any more, analgesic can be used in pain condition else it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
