Cartilage Lack of Due to bad knee injury

I am writing with reference to my son-in-law. He had a 300lb. valve fall on his knee in January. He was operated on and is now going to therapy 4months later. His big problem is serious cartilage damage, Is there something new out that can rebuild cartlage? Kevin had read this somewhere. Do you or anybody know about this ? because he is only 38 knee replacement is not recommended . His job is climbing on ladders at times. Would be interested to hear any info.
