The truth of cartilage injections for knee arthritis treatment?I'm talking about Suchan's joint talk

Sep 19, 2025

On Himchan Hospital's own YouTube channel, videos of the types and effects of knee arthritis injection treatment that patients are curious about will be released.

Lee Soo-chan, CEO of Himchan Hospital, and Kim Tae-hyun, head of the medical center, explained in detail the causes and symptoms of knee arthritis and cartilage injection treatment on the YouTube channel "Suchan's Joint Talk" on the 19th.

Knee arthritis is a disease in which cartilage and bone parts covering the joints are gradually damaged and inflammation occurs. It is known to be a disease experienced by about 10% of the world's population over the age of 60. It is considered a disease that rapidly reduces the quality of life in old age because pain, stiffness, and movement restrictions appear.




Treatment of knee arthritis varies from drug use to injection to surgery. Treatment is determined by the patient's condition and the degree of arthritis progression.

Kim Tae-hyun, Director of Orthopedic Surgery at Mokdong Himchan Hospital, said "Injection treatment is mainly recommended for patients with early and mid-term arthritis."Try methods such as weight loss, strength training, and taking pain-inflammatory drugs first and consider injection treatment when symptoms are not sufficiently improved."

Cartilage injections, bone marrow aspiration concentrate (BMAC) intraarticular injections, and autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intraarticular injections are typical for knee arthritis injection treatment. Since there are differences in the mechanism of action, method of procedure, and effectiveness of each patient, it is important to find a treatment suitable for each patient.




In this video, we focused on cartilage injection. Cartilage injections supplement joint synovial components that move knee joints smoothly, improving lubrication and relieving pain.

Director Kim Tae-hyun said, `It is difficult to say that cartilage itself grows or regenerates through cartilage injection"It is appropriate to understand it as a role that greases the joints so that they move smoothly" he explained.

Su-chan's Joint Talk Corner is a health corner in which specialists directly appear to explain joint and spinal diseases that patients are curious about. Following cartilage injection during knee arthritis injection treatment, which was released on the 19th, details on bone marrow aspiration concentrate (BMAC) intra-articular injection and autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intra-articular injection treatment will be introduced on the 26th.
