The end of knee pain:
treating cartilage damage in the knee with modern therapies

Knee pain can be extremely stressful and severely restrict quality of life. Such complaints do not only affect top athletes but also people who do not play sports that are particularly hard on the knee. Inflammation and arthrosis can also cause painful cartilage damage in the knee. Here at the Arthros Medical Center in Vienna, you will find an experienced cartilage surgeon in Dr. Frisee.

As such, Dr. Frisee uses various procedures to treat cartilage defects. Good results are achieved in the medium term, with different treatments possible depending on the cause of the knee pain. We investigate the causes individually and make specific decisions for your personalised treatment. Cartilage damage in the knee may also make surgery necessary.

Cartilage surgery, which has now achieved very good results, has various options for providing rapid relief from knee pain in your specific case. In order to make surgical treatment as gentle as possible, we use minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopy, although this is not possible in every case.

In some cases, extensive surgery is necessary to stop the cartilage damage to the knee from progressing. Cartilage smoothing may be necessary, in which the rough joint surfaces are smoothed using arthroscopic procedures. The aim is to preserve the biomechanical properties of the cartilage in the knee as well as the cartilage itself.

Thanks to years of experience in the treatment of knee pain and other sports injuries, Dr. Frisee is able to make well-founded treatment recommendations for cartilage damage in the knee. This always depends on the patient's health conditions.

In addition to determining the cause, the focus is on selecting the most suitable treatment method. This ensures that all patients receive the best possible treatment and that health restrictions are minimised. Would you like to find out more? Please feel free to contact us!
