I thought there was something advanced about the brace--it was featured in one scene and seemed to have been used in redesigning and upgrading the bat suit so that it was actually integrated into the suit, allowing batman to function on a higher level. The fact that Wayne was reclusive for years meant that his muscles atrophied. I know from personal observation that people who let their quads atrophy have knee problems that are often corrected by simply being more active and strengthening the quads.
I found the "no more cartilage" schtick to be silly because if you have no more cartilage in your knee you are screwed to a much greater degree than just needing a cane to get around. Cartilage is a very substantial tissue. It can get compressed or worn, but it doesn't just vanish. But I let it go. Suspending disbelief is always required in a superhero film. I think we're both in agreement to let the story take you away and not get caught up on the believability of little details.
