ChondroFiller success rates in practiceChondroFiller success rates in practice
ChondroFiller, which recruits a patient's own cells to fill cartilage defects, produces meaningful pain reduction and improved joint function in 70–85% of patients within one to five years; but success depends on selecting younger patients with focal defects in otherwise healthy joints.ChondroFiller, which recruits a patient's own cells to fill cartilage defects, produces meaningful pain reduction and improved joint function in 70–85% of patients within one to five years; but success depends on selecting younger patients with focal defects in otherwise healthy joints.
ChondroFiller and cortisone treat different knee problemsChondroFiller and cortisone treat different knee problems
Cortisone and ChondroFiller treat different knee problems: cortisone is short-term symptom control for diffuse osteoarthritis or an inflammatory flare, with benefit usually measured in weeks to a few months, while ChondroFiller is a single-stage cell-free collagen scaffold designed for clearly localised grade III or IV cartilage defects and selected osteochondralCortisone and ChondroFiller treat different knee problems: cortisone is short-term symptom control for diffuse osteoarthritis or an inflammatory flare, with benefit usually measured in weeks to a few months, while ChondroFiller is a single-stage cell-free collagen scaffold designed for clearly localised grade III or IV cartilage defects and selected osteochondral lesions. A broadly worn knee should not assume a focal scaffold will help, and a defined cartilage lesion should not assume a cortison...
