3. Cartilage repair and regeneration: Using various techniques to repair or regenerate damaged cartilage.

4. Osteotomy: Realignment of bones to reduce stress on the knee joint.

5. Meniscal repair and transplantation: Repairing or replacing damaged meniscal tissue.

6. Ligament reconstruction: Rebuilding or reinforcing damaged ligaments.

7. Tissue engineering: Using biomaterials and growth factors to create new tissue.

8. Natural therapies: Acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, and nutrition counseling.
