One frequently asked question at the London Cartilage Clinic is, “Can cartilage repair itself?” Understanding cartilage’s natural healing capabilities is essential for effective treatment. While cartilage has limited self-repair abilities, advancements in medical science, including the regeneration principles laid out by Professor Paul Lee, have led to treatments that can significantly aid and enhance this process.
Cartilage is a unique tissue with no direct blood supply, making natural repair a slow and limited process. Injuries to cartilage, particularly in joints such as the knee, present significant healing challenges. However, adopting the right approach and treatment can substantially support and enhance cartilage healing.
The London Cartilage Clinic offers cutting-edge treatments that assist the body’s natural cartilage repair processes. These include therapies such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), microfragmented fat (mFat), exosome therapy, and stem cell therapy. All these treatments, grounded in the principles of regenerative medicine championed by Professor Paul Lee, show promise in improving cartilage health and function.
Each case of cartilage damage is distinct, and so are our treatment plans. We meticulously assess the extent of damage, the patient’s overall health, and their specific requirements to determine the most effective treatment approach. This personalised care ensures the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Various factors, including age, injury severity, and overall health, impact cartilage’s natural repair capabilities. Younger individuals with minor injuries may experience better natural healing compared to older individuals or those with more severe injuries.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with regular exercise and a balanced diet, can support cartilage health. Seeking early treatment for joint injuries is also crucial in preventing further cartilage damage.
Most cartilage repair treatments are minimally invasive, causing little to no discomfort. Our clinic prioritises patient comfort and safety in all procedures.
All our treatments are selected to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes and return to the quality of life they deserve. Get in touch if you have any questions.
