At London Cartilage Clinic, we are at the forefront of meniscus regeneration, offering state-of-the-art treatments for meniscus injuries - one of the most common injuries that result in functional impairment in the knee.

The meniscus helps absorb impact and stabilise the knee. When it is damaged, everyday movement, exercise, and sport can become painful or unreliable.
Our focus is to preserve meniscal tissue where possible and improve the biological environment for healing, helping you stay active for longer.
Common symptoms include pain, swelling, clicking, and loss of confidence in the knee. We combine clinical assessment with MRI to define tear pattern, tissue quality, and joint alignment before recommending treatment.
Your pathway is personalised and may combine rehabilitation, targeted injection therapy, or surgery depending on symptoms, goals, and scan findings.
With specialist meniscus expertise, we focus on durable symptom relief and safer return to daily activity and sport.
Meniscus regeneration involves using regenerative medicine techniques to heal and reconstruct damaged meniscal tissue.
Treatments include MFAT, BMAC, and PRP therapy, among others.
Diagnosis typically combines specialist clinical examination with MRI. X-rays can help assess bone and joint alignment but do not directly diagnose meniscus tears; arthroscopy may be used in selected cases.

Surgery for Achilles tendinopathy requires both persistent functional impairment after three to six months of supervised rehabilitation and imaging evidence of significant tissue damage—neither alone justifies operating.
High tibial osteotomy delayed total knee replacement by a mean of 11.7 years — 95% of patients avoided replacement at five years and 79% at ten years.
An injectable collagen scaffold that recruits the joint's own cells to repair cartilage damage, ChondroFiller offers structural regeneration earlier in the treatment pathway than knee replacement. Evidence from appropriately selected candidates shows 70–85% achieve meaningful symptom relief within three to five years.
