Knee Restoration Techniques
Find relief from knee pain when you take advantage of one of these sophisticated procedures:
- Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) – Removes a tiny portion of healthy cartilage cells from your body and places them in a lab to grow into new tissue, which a surgeon will then implant over damaged cartilage on the ends of bones in your knee
- Debridement – Employs a minimally invasive, arthroscopic technique to eliminate damaged cartilage, smooth your knee’s surface and help your joint move more easily
- Meniscus transplant – Replaces your damaged meniscus with artificial cartilage or healthy donor tissue during a minimally invasive procedure
- Microfracture – Relies on a minimally invasive approach that creates tiny holes in your knee bones near damaged tissue to help make cartilage regrow
- Osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS) – Uses healthy tissue from your body or a donor to fill in a hole—or osteochondral defect—in your thighbone
- Osteotomy – Realigns your knee with your shinbone or thighbone to shift weight off the painful, arthritic side of your joint
-
Shoulder Restoration Techniques
If you experience shoulder discomfort, you may benefit from one of these advanced procedures:
- Biologic shoulder replacement – An exchange of damaged cartilage in your shoulder’s ball and socket for healthy donor tissue during a minimally invasive, arthroscopic procedure that reduces your recovery time
- Debridement – A minimally invasive, arthroscopic technique that removes damaged cartilage, smooths your shoulder’s surface and lets your joint move more easily
- Microfracture – A minimally invasive surgery that creates tiny holes in your shoulder bones near damaged tissue to help make cartilage regrow and help relieve your joint pain
- Shoulder resurfacing – A procedure that Midwest Orthopedic Specialty Hospital surgeons developed to cover the damaged cartilage of your shoulder’s socket with healthy tissue from a donor

Hip Restoration Techniques
To treat hip pain, take advantage of one of these advanced procedures:
