A member asked:
Ortho thinks cartilage transplant may be necessary for ankle due to thinning cartilage& pain. is this procedure successful? recovery time? i'm 38.

Cartilage transplant: In my experience it has been successful. There is variability with regard to results in the literature and there are different sources of grafts available. Healing is about 8 weeks.
