nStride uses an autologous protein solution derived from your blood to deliver a concentrated anti-inflammatory and regenerative signal to the knee joint.
nStride is particularly relevant for patients with ongoing knee OA pain who need a structured non-surgical strategy.
The treatment pathway includes blood collection, protein concentration processing, and precise intra-articular injection in an outpatient setting.
At London Cartilage Clinic, candidate selection and treatment timing are specialist-led to maximise benefit and align therapy with your severity profile and goals.


nStride offers several advantages over traditional osteoarthritis treatments. It’s a minimally invasive procedure, reducing the risks associated with surgery. Patients often experience significant pain relief and improved joint function. Additionally, nStride is designed to be a long-term solution, potentially slowing the progression of osteoarthritis.
Ideal candidates for nStride are individuals experiencing knee pain due to osteoarthritis who have not found relief with traditional treatments. However, the suitability of nStride varies depending on individual circumstances, so a consultation with one of our specialists is essential.
Post-treatment, patients may experience temporary discomfort or swelling at the injection site. Most individuals notice an improvement in joint pain and mobility within weeks of the treatment. We recommend a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and determine the need for additional treatments.

Partial ACL tears develop silently through repetitive loading and remain unnoticed until roughly half the ligament's fibres fail. MRI misidentifies tear patterns in more than six out of ten cases, making these injuries easy to overlook.

Talar cartilage defects resist self-repair owing to poor blood supply and continuous mechanical stress. ChondroFiller is an injectable collagen that sets into a hydrogel and recruits the body's own repair cells, delivered by ultrasound guidance without surgery.
