Cartilage Transplantation

Cartilage cell transplantation in Hyderabad

With introduction of cartilage cell transplantation, it was possible for the first time to achieve a cartilage-like replacement cartilage defect. Microscopic examination clearly shows that tissue that results from cartilage cell transplantation is most similar to original cartilage compared to other therapies. In cartilage cell transplantation, cartilage is removed from those parts of the affected joint that are otherwise less stressed during arthroscopy. The amounts that are taken are very small (about the size of a small fingernail) and do not affect the joint. The cells in this piece of cartilage are then cultivated under unique safety and purity conditions in the laboratory and multiplied to several million cells. The cells are grown on different carrier materials. After a few weeks, this fleece can then be introduced into the defect with cartilage cells. Usually only a very small incision is necessary.
