Joint Replacement and Cartilage Regeneration

To help restore damaged cartilage and maximize patient functionality, we provide a full spectrum of contemporary treatments matched to the patient's lifestyle. These range from arthroscopic repair, to revision of the joint and cartilage and possibly, total joint repair.

Cartilage Regeneration

The Joint Restoration Institute of Wisconsin, in association with Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, is dedicated to comprehensive treatment of cartilage lesions in the knee, ankle and shoulder. Among these treatments is Autologous Chrondrocyte Implantation (ACI), an innovative procedure which transplants a patient's own cartilage cells into the knee to repair cartilage damage.

The Institute offers preoperative education, counseling and the development of comprehensive rehabilitation programs by Performance Center licensed therapists for patients undergoing cartilage regeneration procedures.

Ideal candidates for cartilage regeneration are:

  • Generally under the age of 55
  • Have a meniscus tear that cannot be surgically repaired
  • Are missing more than one half of the meniscus
  • Have activity-related pain in the knee
  • Have little or no evidence of arthritis in the knee

Brian A. McCarty MD, Medical Director, is fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine and has completed additional advanced training in cartilage and meniscus transplantation. The JRIW is one of only a handful of such centers in the United States. It is located in the Elmbrook Medical Arts Building, 17050 W. North Ave in Brookfield.
