Hi,
Glucosamin can repair miner trauma to cartilage. But severe trauma needs operative correction and here no medicine will regenerate cartilage. Please get MRI of the knee done to find degree of injury and consult an orthopedic doctor advising / prescribing specific treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
