They have just worn out the cartilage in their knees and their only resort is knee replacement. But cbs 2s dr. Max gomez is here to tell us a new study shows there is a way to replace that cartilage. Doctor. Reporter thats right. Osteoarthritis is wear and tear arthritis. The nice smooth cartilage on the end of all bones is worn away.

Reporter cheryl has essentially worn away large areas of cartilage on the ends of her thigh bone and growing it back in adults is almost impossible.

Williams creative means finding a way to use bone and cartilage plugs to replace the missing cartilage. He just presented a longterm study of cartilage replacement patients normally not thought to be good patients for cartilage surgery. The key is donor cartilage. I can put my bone into yours and over about 6 months it will grow in. Reporter this is what it looks like. The plug is mostly bone with a thin layer of cartilage on top. You can just make out the white line of cartilage. That plug is surgically inserted in the knee and here a few years later is cheryls knee. This is all nice thick well. But mris dont tell you how a knee feels. I feel awesome i can work out painfree. I can play softball. I can snowboard. Its painfree. Reporter now, the plug comes from the same donors as organ and tissue donors. Its thoroughly tested for Infectious Disease for two weeks before its implanted in a knee. Not everyone with knee arthritis is a good candidate for the procedure. It depends mostly on how much damage there is. But its a good alternative. Sounds like it. Thank you, dr. Max.
