Supraspinatus tendinopathy specialists in the UKSupraspinatus tendinopathy specialists in the UK
Supraspinatus tendinopathy is degenerative, not inflammatory; anti-inflammatory treatment cannot address this, so management begins with physiotherapy-guided progressive loading to restore tendon capacity.Supraspinatus tendinopathy is degenerative, not inflammatory; anti-inflammatory treatment cannot address this, so management begins with physiotherapy-guided progressive loading to restore tendon capacity.
Single-stage vs two-stage ACI for cartilage repairSingle-stage vs two-stage ACI for cartilage repair
Traditional two-stage ACI involves two general anaesthetics separated by a four-to-six-week cell culture period; STACI performs both stages in a single theatre session, requiring one general anaesthetic and eliminating the inter-stage gap.Traditional two-stage ACI involves two general anaesthetics separated by a four-to-six-week cell culture period; STACI performs both stages in a single theatre session, requiring one general anaesthetic and eliminating the inter-stage gap.
ChondroFiller for focal knee defects versus early osteoarthritisChondroFiller for focal knee defects versus early osteoarthritis
Focal cartilage defects and early osteoarthritis produce identical symptoms but differ structurally — a contained lesion versus compartment-wide degeneration — and imaging determines which pathway applies. ChondroFiller, an injectable collagen scaffold into which the body's progenitor cells migrate and lay down new cartilage tissue, addresses only focal lesions.Focal cartilage defects and early osteoarthritis produce identical symptoms but differ structurally — a contained lesion versus compartment-wide degeneration — and imaging determines which pathway applies.

OATS for Osteochondral Lesions of the TalusOATS for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
Lesions larger than approximately 150 mm² fail bone marrow stimulation treatment 97% of the time. OATS transplants genuine hyaline cartilage to replace the weakening fibrocartilage scar that microfracture produces in larger defects.Lesions larger than approximately 150 mm² fail bone marrow stimulation treatment 97% of the time.

ACI for Ankle Cartilage DefectsACI for Ankle Cartilage Defects
Microfracture produces fibrocartilage that deteriorates within two to three years for ankle cartilage lesions over 15 mm in diameter; autologous chondrocyte implantation regenerates more durable, hyaline-like cartilage that more closely resembles native tissue for larger defects.Microfracture produces fibrocartilage that deteriorates within two to three years for ankle cartilage lesions over 15 mm in diameter; autologous chondrocyte implantation regenerates more durable, hyaline-like cartilage that more closely resembles native tissue for larger defects.
