Meniscus injury care with regenerative options

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.

  • MFAT: adipose-derived cells for anti-inflammatory and restorative support.
  • BMAC: concentrated bone marrow cells to assist tissue recovery.
  • PRP / PRF: growth-factor-rich blood products to support repair and symptom control.

Diagnosis and treatment planning at London Cartilage Clinic

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.

  • Non-operative options for early or lower-grade injuries.
  • Regenerative strategies to improve healing potential.
  • Surgical repair/reconstruction when structural stability is compromised.

With specialist meniscus expertise, we focus on durable symptom relief and safer return to daily activity and sport.

ChondroFiller as a Regenerative Collagen Scaffold for Cartilage Repair

ChondroFiller is an innovative cartilage repair treatment using a collagen scaffold that supports natural tissue regeneration without stitching. Acting like both a stabilizing gel and a growth guide, it fosters the body's own cells to heal cartilage defects effectively. This less invasive option offers advantages over stem cell therapies by simplifying recovery and reducing risks. Clinical studies confirm its safety, integration with existing cartilage, and positive patient outcomes. Ideal for those seeking advanced, minimally invasive cartilage repair, ChondroFiller is best used under expert medical guidance to tailor treatment and optimize recovery.
