ChondroFiller and cortisone treat different knee problemsCortisone 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…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 osteochondral lesions. A broadly worn knee should not assume a focal scaffold will help, and a defined cartilage lesion should not assume a cortison...
