Subchondroplasty
Introduction
Subchondroplasty (SCP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat bone marrow lesions (BMLs) – small, painful defects in the spongy bone beneath the joint surface.
These lesions are often seen in patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis and may not respond to conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, or injections.
Subchondroplasty involves injecting a special bone substitute material into the lesion to strengthen the affected area, relieve pain, and delay the need for joint replacement.
