A member asked:
Are there injections available to replace worn cartilage in the wrist? i ask because i've heard of something like that for knees.

Yes ; No: The answer to your question is more complex than you may think. It depends on the extent of damage and that has to be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in knees.
