Cartilage Repair Henderson, Nevada (NV)

If you have torn or damaged cartilage, you may have been told repair or regeneration was impossible. Dr. R. Jeffrey Grondel, MD, of the Orthopaedic Institute of Henderson, Nevada, is a specialist in sports medicine techniques, specifically cartilage replacement surgery. Cartilage repair is possible, if you find a qualified surgeon on the forefront of research in sports medicine like Dr. Grondel.

As the body ages, cartilage is worn away at the joints, and the body's natural cushioning is lost. In athletes, this process can occur while you are still young, due to the higher level of activity and stress placed on joints and muscles. Cartilage replacement and repair can reverse this process. Dr. Grondel is an experienced practitioner of cartilage replacement surgery, and he is at the forefront of research in advanced arthroscopic surgical techniques. After graduating from the University of Utah School of Medicine at Salt Lake City, he completed his residency and fellowships in the areas of Orthopaedic Surgery, Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery, and Sports Medicine and Shoulder. He has published articles in medical journals such as the American Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery and the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

- Cartilage replacement surgery
- Arthroscopic joint surgery
- Arthroscopy for carpal instability
- Reconstruction of ligaments
- Rotator cuff repairs
