Cartilage Regeneration
Guide price only. Final cost is confirmed after assessment.
Regenerative medicine is a modern and innovative form of treatment that involves regenerating the patient's own biological tissue, to repair, replace and encourage healing of cells that have deteriorated due to injury or disease. Cartilage regeneration takes healthy cells from the damaged knee, cultures them for around four to six weeks, and then injects them into the joint to regenerate with the other cartilage.

What does
cartilage regeneration involve?
Cartilage regeneration procedures generally involve replacing articular cartilage, which cushions bone endings in your joints. When this cartilage breaks down or becomes damaged, bones are less protected from rubbing together, which causes pain.
Because cartilage has a limited blood supply, it has restricted self-repair capacity. Regeneration can therefore be an advantageous treatment that may postpone, or in some cases eliminate, the need for joint replacement surgery while improving symptoms and overall quality of life.
