ChondroFiller repeat injections and long-term repairChondroFiller repeat injections and long-term repair
ChondroFiller recruits the patient's progenitor cells into a collagen scaffold that degrades over 12–18 months whilst repair tissue develops; 81% of hip patients achieved good or excellent outcomes at three to five years, but success depends heavily on whether osteoarthritis is early-stage or advanced.ChondroFiller recruits the patient's progenitor cells into a collagen scaffold that degrades over 12–18 months whilst repair tissue develops; 81% of hip patients achieved good or excellent outcomes at three to five years, but success depends heavily on whether osteoarthritis is early-stage or advanced.
High tibial osteotomy as a first step in knee preservationHigh tibial osteotomy as a first step in knee preservation
High tibial osteotomy repositions the tibia to shift weight-bearing from damaged inner knee cartilage to the healthier outer compartment. For younger, active patients, the procedure preserves the natural joint and potentially extends its working life by a decade or more.High tibial osteotomy repositions the tibia to shift weight-bearing from damaged inner knee cartilage to the healthier outer compartment.

What the ChondroFiller evidence actually showsWhat the ChondroFiller evidence actually shows
ChondroFiller's reoperation rate of 3–8% substantially outperforms microfracture (41%) and ACI/MACI (37%), reflecting its mechanism: the scaffold supports hyaline-like cartilage repair rather than the fibrocartilage scar tissue that other approaches produce.ChondroFiller's reoperation rate of 3–8% substantially outperforms microfracture (41%) and ACI/MACI (37%), reflecting its mechanism: the scaffold supports hyaline-like cartilage repair rather than the fibrocartilage scar tissue that other approaches produce.
