ChondroFiller:

ChondroFiller is used to treat clearly defined cartilage defects at various joints in one-step arthroscopic or mini-open surgery. It is a regenerative treatment that can cure and regenerate your cartilage after a Grade 3 or Grade 4 defect. ChondroFiller saves the patient from having to get a joint replacement surgery.

Areas treated:

ChondroFiller can be used to treat various joints.

Some common areas of treatment are:

• Hip

• Shoulder

• Knee

• Ankle

• Metatarsophalangeal Joint

How it works:

ChondroFiller liquid is inserted into the cartilage defect during an arthroscopy or mini open surgery. The liquid solidifies into a gel and regenerates the damaged cartilage back into its original hyaline form. Grade 3 or Grade 4 defects in the cartilage are usually treated with a joint replacement surgery. ChondroFiller removes the need of getting a joint replacement and simply regenerates the cartilage back to its original and healthy form.

Who can get this treatment:

Anybody having a Grade 3 or Grade 4 cartilage defect in major joints can get this treatment done. ChondroFiller is extremely popular in its usage to treat sports related injuries as it not only saves the patient from a joint replacement but also regenerates the cartilage into its original, healthy form.
