ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic shield and its method of use are used to repair damaged joints and regenerate cartilage. The shield protects the articulating surfaces of the joint from compression and frictional stresses to protect the bone from further damage and allow cartilage to grow. The shield can be left in place or removed after the joint heals.
