To repair cartilage, you can choose drugs that improve the condition, such as glucosamine sulfate, which has a slow onset of action and usually needs to be taken for weeks or even months to provide both anti-inflammatory and pain relief, and to delay the destructive effects of joint cartilage. The main goal is to replenish the cartilage matrix, slow down cartilage degradation, and promote chondrocyte metabolic activity. Viscoelastic replenishment therapy, which is an intra-articular injection of sodium vitreous acid, can be used to reduce the inflammation of the synovial membrane, reduce cartilage destruction, and improve clinical symptoms and the function of the joint. Acupuncture can be chosen to relieve pain and improve symptoms through localized acupuncture at selected points via milli-needle pricking or acupuncture cupping or warm acupuncture. For example, in the case of liver and kidney deficiency, Zuo Gui Wan can be added or subtracted. If pain occurs, mulberry branches can be added for joints in the upper extremities, and papaya and wei ling xian can be added for joints in the lower extremities to achieve the effect of tonifying the liver and kidneys, soothing the tendons and opening the channels. Surgical treatment is an option for patients with severe lesions and significant persistent pain and functional impairment. Surgical methods include arthroscopic joint debridement, cartilage repair, arthroplasty and artificial joint replacement, which need to be determined according to the patient’s age, the involved joint, the expected goal and the degree of cartilage destruction.
