Arthroscopic Osteochondral Allograft Transfer is a modern surgical procedure performed by Dr. Manu Gautam to restore knee joint function and reduce pain caused by cartilage damage. The treatment is especially effective for patients with large or deep cartilage defects that cannot heal on their own.
In this minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Gautam uses small incisions and an arthroscope, a tiny camera that allows him to see inside the joint with precision. Through these incisions, he carefully prepares the damaged area and places an allograft—healthy cartilage and bone tissue taken from a screened donor. This graft helps recreate the joint surface, allowing smoother movement and reducing friction during daily activities.

Compared with traditional open surgery, arthroscopic techniques cause less trauma to surrounding tissues. As a result, patients often experience reduced pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery. In addition, the donor graft integrates with the patient’s natural tissue, offering long-term benefits for joint health.
This procedure is particularly useful for people who suffer from pain, swelling, or limited mobility due to conditions like cartilage injuries or osteochondritis dissecans. After surgery, Dr. Gautam usually recommends a tailored rehabilitation plan. Physical therapy plays a key role in strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and restoring function.
What sets Dr. Manu Gautam apart is his extensive experience and patient-focused approach. He provides detailed evaluations, explains all treatment options, and designs personalized care plans. Throughout recovery, patients receive guidance and support to ensure the best outcomes.
By combining advanced surgical skills with compassionate care, Dr. Gautam helps individuals regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and return to an active lifestyle. For patients struggling with cartilage injuries, Arthroscopic Osteochondral Allograft Transfer offers a reliable path toward lasting joint health.
