Yes, but often imperfectly and it takes a great deal of time. Cartilage tends to have a very poor blood supply, so it takes a long time for the cells to gather enough nutrients to build more matrix and repair the damage. If the damage was too severe, the cartilage will not have time to repair the damage before bony changes take over and prevent a return to normal function.

How does a cell repair itself?

In order to repair itself, a cell must make use of peroxisomes, special cellular organelles which will help to minimize the damage of oxygen to the cell. During the repair process, damaged proteins must be flushed so new and functioning molecules can be produced. Organelles called lysosomes help in this process. The production of new cells will take place through gene production.
