Regenerating cartilage, not just removing it
Mr Riaz was the first surgeon in Yorkshire to perform AutoCart cartilage regeneration — a single-stage keyhole-assisted technique that rebuilds damaged joint surface using your own cartilage. For Rochdale patients with painful cartilage defects after injury, this can mean a genuine repair rather than repeated clean-up surgery, and a chance to delay or avoid joint replacement altogether.
Knee treatments for Rochdale patients
- Cartilage regeneration, including the AutoCart technique
- ACL reconstruction and revision ACL surgery
- Meniscal repair, meniscectomy and meniscal transplant
- Osteotomy (realignment) surgery for early arthritis
- Robotic-assisted (VELYS) partial and total knee replacement
