Cartiva can be used as a substitute for the damaged articular cartilage in your knee. The device provides a viable alternative to those patients seeking relief for their knee pain but not wanting a total knee replacement. Cartiva can also be used to treat osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb. The implant relieves pain and restores range of motion by allowing the bones around the thumb to glide smoothly over one another.

However, there are new procedures available for cartilage regeneration, which can be used in replace of traditional surgery.Articular Cartilage. Cartilage is a 3-5 mm thick tissue that covers bone ends and surfaces inside of joints.This structure gives low friction articulation, but is easily damaged in accidents, such as kneecap dislocations or ACL tears. The matrix of the cartilage is made of proteoglycans, collagens, and proteins.rticular Cartilage. Cartilage is a 3-5 mm thick tissue that covers bone ends and surfaces inside of joints.
