Cartilage protection therapy

Articular cartilage protection therapy in arthritis

Injections of viscid natural substances (Synocrom), e.g. into the knee, protect and nurture cartilage tissue. This new type of treatment causes a lubricating layer to develop on the joint cartilage and often leads to a rapid improvement of the symptoms.

Advantages of the method

Principles of biological therapy are utilised to improve the gliding function of the joint cartilage by feeding it biological building blocks of basic cartilage substances. This is currently the most effective method of treatment and affects the causes of cartilage damage and arthritis development.

All joint surfaces are covered with a protective layer of joint cartilage. This protects the underlying bone from mechanical overload from shock-absorption and friction.

Schäden an der Knorpeloberfläche führen zu fortschreitendem Knorpelabrieb und damit letztlich zu einer Gelenkzerstörung (Arthrose).

Damage to the cartilage surface causes progressive cartilage abrasion and finally, destruction of the joint (arthritis).

A joint is only as functional and resilient as its cartilage
Treatment of joint disorders due to wear, in particular in major joints such as hip, knee and ankle joint, is significantly more efficient with modern therapeutic methods. This has been made possible with new molecular biological findings and biotechnologies.

Hyaluron is a chief component of the extracellular matrix. Together with collagen fibres it is decisive for cartilage stability, elasticity and a low friction coefficient.

Hyaluron acid molecules collect in cartilage; this increases the ability of the cartilage to imbibe water

thereby improving cartilage viscoelasticity. This means that the cartilage is stabilised by reducing friction, thereby inhibiting spontaneous progressive cartilage degeneration.

Hyaluron (e.g. as Synocrom) can be given as a high-titer injection to the damaged knee.

Following disinfection of the surrounding skin - and local anaesthetic if required - the drugs are injected directly into the joint, under the guidance of an ultra sonic device if necessary. Effective therapy requires 5-10 injections.
