How can you repair cartilage? What is the OATS procedure?

WHAT IS OATS???🤔🤔🤔 NOT Oatmeal! Dr. P’s 3 Secrets – OATS Procedure: Repairing Knees Surgically (Without Replacing Them) 1. It’s One of the Only Surgeries That Truly Repairs Cartilage Defects. Unlike knee replacement, which cuts out and replaces your joint with metal and plastic, OATS uses your own living cartilage and bone to fill in a damaged area. The transferred plug helps restore the joint surface. It’s biologically alive and integrates, not artificial. 2. It’s Best for Relatively Small, Isolated Cartilage Defects—NOT Widespread Arthritis This is not the right choice for patients with diffuse arthritis or “bone-on-bone” knees. OATS works best in younger, active individuals who have a focal cartilage defect—like from trauma, not degeneration. The success rate drops significantly when the surrounding cartilage is worn down too. 3. OATS Is a Step Up from Microfracture, But Still Has Limits Compared to microfracture (which relies on fibrocartilage formation), OATS transplants actual hyaline cartilage, which is more durable. But recovery is longer, and surgical access can sometimes damage surrounding areas. It’s also limited by donor site morbidity—you can only take so much cartilage from your own knee. Where It Fits in Our Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement™ System: At Victory In Motion, we focus on non-invasive biologic repair first—PRP, bone marrow aspirate cells, laser, V-Fit, and genetic-based nutrition. But for certain cases, like a young patient with a traumatic cartilage defect who hasn’t responded to conservative options, OATS can be an excellent surgical repair option that avoids replacement. We’ll always prioritize repair over replacement—even if that means biologic surgery instead of metal and plastic. Want to know if OATS or another Knee Repair option is right for you?
