Cartilage degeneration after Medial Meniscus Surgery - Post-surgical PRP Prolotherapy option

Danielle Matias, PA-C discusses why it is common for patients who undergo meniscal surgery to have accelerated cartilage degeneration and may end up sustaining further injuries and/or be recommended for additional knee surgeries relatively soon afterward. For people who are looking to avoid further surgeries, regenerative options like PRP Prolotherapy can provide a nice alternative. In our clinic, we approach chronic pain by identifying the structural cause of the pain, which is usually joint instability/ligament laxity in these types of cases. Ligament laxity/joint instability is treated with Prolotherapy, the regenerative injection treatment to stimulate repair. Often, PRP is used as part of the Prolotherapy solution to help bring more healing cells directly to the degenerated areas.
