Today, continued medical developments have yielded marked therapeutic successes, even for severe cartilage damage.

There has been significant progress in recent years, especially in orthobiology, which is the use of biological substitute materials in the locomotor system.

In autologous chondrocyte transplants, cartilage defects, for example, are filled in with endogenous (the body’s own) chondrocytes (cartilage cells), from which high-quality cartilage tissue can develop.

There are also various cartilage-regenerating procedures, which can give good results in minor damage.

Here, on the Athletikum Group website, you can learn which treatment procedures are now available at the specialist therapeutic centers to treat cartilage damage and arthritis.
