Three patient groups benefit particularly:

• Old patients, for whom surgery poses too great a risk. The procedure can also be repeated later.
• Young patients, who are too young for a knee prosthesis and where arthroscopy is no longer of any use.
• Patients who want to save time because they do not want any other surgical procedure (prosthesis) at the moment because they have to care for someone, have too much work, or are planning a vacation.

We have also achieved excellent results in degenerative meniscopathies , which we will publish around 2027.

The procedure is also possible without problems and in accordance with guidelines even during ongoing anticoagulation therapy , similar to dental procedures. Thanks to the platelet-rich components, we have never experienced any significant hematomas or joint effusions in our patient population.

Non-personal or anonymized information remains protected by tax secrecy. Disclosure to third parties is only allowed if no identification is possible and both states confirm that no harm to tax administration will occur. multimorbid patients can be treated safely.
Pregnant and breastfeeding patients are rarely found in our patient population, but the local anesthetic used and the method are expressly applicable to pregnant and breastfeeding women according to all guidelines. 
On request we will send you the Guidelines .

We now need 10 minutes for the procedure. Including positioning, washing, draping, etc., we need 30 minutes per patient. Therefore, the procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis. In almost all cases, this can be done under local anesthesia.

We recommend no exercise for 3 days and no bathing or showering for 2 days.

Many patients drive home immediately after the procedure. This is also possible if you are driving, provided you don't take a sedative. However, we recommend that you arrange for someone to drive you to and from our office.
Until now, every patient has been able to go to work the next day or look after the house and yard or children.
After 3 days, you can return to exercise. The effects in your body will kick in automatically. Originally, we and other research groups had patients rest for 6 weeks—but that was unnecessary.

High body weight (obesity) and an extension deficit of approximately 10° are prognostically unfavorable.
Isolated retropatellar arthrosis (as in all other knee studies) tends to have worse outcomes than normal femur-tibial arthrosis.
Bone marrow edema should be checked for vitamin D deficiency, hyperparathyroidism, C2H5OH abuse or other bone metabolism disorders.

Background:
We continuously compare approximately 200 preoperative examination findings (anamnesis, MRI, X-ray, etc.) with the final result and conduct multivariate analyses and correlation studies to predict the effect and reliability of individual factors on the outcome.

Varus and valgus deformities are irrelevant in all statistical tests up to 12°.
Taking NSAIDs / family history of osteoarthritis / duration of symptoms and degree of wear are irrelevant.
Regarding the degree of wear: The improvement is approximately +50% points in the IKDC score. Poor knee joints become moderately good, and moderately good knee joints become very good.

The purchase price for our collection kit will be approximately the value of a good dinner for two people and is therefore significantly cheaper than all CBT (Cell Based Therapies) or BMAC therapies or fat stem cell therapies on the market.
