What exactly is ChondroFiller® and how does it help repair damaged cartilage naturally?

ChondroFiller® is an acellular collagen gel that fills cartilage defects and provides a framework for your own stem cells to regenerate healthy tissue. Unlike temporary injections, it supports true hyaline-like cartilage repair, restoring smoother joint movement and protecting against further wear.

How does ChondroFiller® compare with other joint injections or replacement surgery?

While hyaluronic acid or Arthrosamid® can offer temporary pain relief, ChondroFiller® actively regenerates cartilage. Compared to joint replacement, it preserves your natural joint and avoids prosthesis risks. At London Cartilage Clinic, Prof. Paul Lee uses it within a “regenerate-first” philosophy to save joints, not replace them.

What evidence shows that ChondroFiller® really works in knees and hips?

Clinical studies report +30 IKDC in knees, +33 Harris Hip Score in hips, and improved ankle mobility scores. MRI (MOCART) consistently shows 70–87, indicating high-quality cartilage regeneration. >19,000 global cases support safety and reliable daily-function restoration.

Who is the right candidate for treatment at London Cartilage Clinic?

Ideal for focal cartilage defects up to 6 cm² in knees, hips, ankles, or small joints. Younger, active patients often benefit most, but older patients may qualify if surrounding cartilage is stable. Prof. Lee tailors each plan to your joint health and lifestyle.

What is the procedure like, and how long is the recovery?

Applied via precise injection or keyhole surgery. The gel sets within minutes in the defect. Expect partial weight-bearing ~6 weeks, then gradual return to cycling/swimming. Most sports, including running, resume at around 12 months with specialist rehab.
