Osteoarthritis And Cartilage Breakdown
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative joint disease which is characterised by inflammation and loss of the lining cartilage. Osteoarthritis is associated with an increase in catabolic pro-inflammatory cytokines (âbad proteinsâ) which contribute to cartilage matrix breakdown. As this breakdown increases the knee becomes increasingly arthritic and usually, symptoms will increase.
How The N-STRIDE APS Injection Works
The n-STRIDE APS injection aims to target this imbalance by using the patientâs own blood to concentrate anti-inflammatory cytokines and anabolic growth factors (âgood proteinsâ) returning them to the site of the insult within the knee.
Relief From Osteoarthritis Pain Without Surgery
There are currently no disease-modifying treatments proved for the management of osteoarthritis and there is a growing treatment gap for patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis who refuse or are not candidates for surgical intervention. There is, therefore, a need for newer therapies that address the underlying disease process and delay or preclude the need for joint replacement surgery. As our understanding of the underlying molecular abnormalities of osteoarthritis grows, more targeted treatment options may be developed to meet this requirement.
There are now good early clinical studies available demonstrating the safety and efficacy of n-STRIDE APS, demonstrating a clinical reduction in pain and improvement in wellness scores.
Patient Experience
"Amazing! Incredulous! Miraculous! These are just a few of my friends and family comments following the n-STRIDE procedure on my knee. Thank-you so much Professor Jari and your team for changing my life so much, and for doing it with such efficiency and care. It is hard to believe that just 4 weeks ago I could hardly walk at all and that each step I took was with maximum pain. Almost immediately I got some benefit but it wasnât until 3 1/2 weeks post, what I have to say is an amazingly simple procedure, did I notice just how much a difference it made when I realised I had just gone downstairs in a normal fashion not the previous stilted version, and felt no pain at all. Now 4 weeks on I feel I have a ânormalâ knee. No pain and a full range of pain free movement. So even though words could never be enough to tell you how grateful I am and how wonderful the n-STRIDE procedure is. THANK YOU"
