-- London Cartilage Clinic is pleased to now be better supporting patients who are living with a torn knee, as well as with other comparable knee injuries, or with knee osteoarthritis, with their innovative new stem cell therapy.

The clinic, which is headed by Professor Paul Lee, MBBch, MRCS, MFSEM (UK), MSc (Sports Med), PhD, FEBOT, FRCS (Tr & Orth), a leader in regenerative musculoskeletal medicine and surgery, is committed to being at the forefront of stem cell research and practice in London and the United Kingdom.
They recommend stem cell treatments as a minimally invasive and non-surgical approach to heal and restore the functionality of the joint. As they explained, stem cell therapy has been shown to support cartilage regeneration, to reduce inflammation and to stimulate cytokines, a natural protein that protects cartilage and lubricates the joint.
“Stem cell treatment is a highly effective method of regenerating or repairing injured or damaged tissue using the individual’s own cells,” said a spokesperson for the clinic. “Over the years, stem cell research and treatments in the knee have generated impressive and life-changing results for patients.”
In short, stem cell therapy taps into the body’s natural healing and regenerative mechanisms and uses it to transform injured, inflamed and damaged joints and tissues.
From a scientific perspective, the process is highly complex, but for patients it is simple, and for most, relatively pain-free. First, a patient’s own cells will be harvested by London Cartilage Clinic’s expert surgeons, under anaesthetic, a swift targeted procedure that uses just one specialist needle. Once the concentrated cells have been isolated, they will then be injected into the knee, and the surgeons will use imaging technology like X-ray to guide the injection to the perfect position.
The entire process takes roughly one hour and takes place at London Cartilage Clinic’s built-for-purpose centre. Thanks to the expert care of Professor Paul Lee and his team—who are considered stem cell therapy pioneers in the United Kingdom—patients can comfortably go home later the same day, and most patients will notice almost immediate changes in their knee.
The clinic’s spokesperson added, “Our specialists are at the top of their field, with years of relevant knowledge and hands-on experience with the knee joint and supporting patients through exclusive, forward-thinking treatments.”
