Overview

London Cartilage Clinic is a private orthopaedic practice at 66 Harley Street in central London. Its website presents the clinic as focused on cartilage problems and joint preservation, with the stated aim of helping patients avoid or delay joint replacement where that is possible.

According to the site, treatment spans both injection-based and surgical options. On the non-surgical side it describes stem cell or medicinal signalling cell therapy, micro-fragmented adipose (fat) tissue, platelet rich plasma (prepared from the patient's own blood), hyaluronic acid and the Arthrosamid hydrogel injection. On the surgical side it lists cartilage repair procedures including ChondroFiller, which it says it offers exclusively in the United Kingdom, as well as ligament and meniscus surgery and joint replacement.

The site's stem cell pages state that mesenchymal stem cells are taken from the patient's own abdominal fat or bone marrow using a needle and syringe under general anaesthetic, separated and concentrated in a closed-circuit system, and then injected into the affected joint under X-ray guidance. It describes the procedure as taking about an hour, with the patient going home the same day. The site asserts that the majority of people treated report an improvement in their symptoms and that treatment may delay or remove the need for knee replacement; these are the clinic's own claims and are not independently verified here.

The clinic names a founder and several consultant orthopaedic surgeons, and publishes a set of pricing pages covering consultations, injections and surgery. It describes stem cell treatment as a highly specialised biological treatment that should only be given by experienced practitioners.
