WITHOUT SURGERY - GO STRAIGHT BACK HOME - IMMEDIATELY RESILIENT - PAINLESS
Not only menisci can be glued, we have also made good experiences with gluing the following tissues:
Shoulder joint
Shoulder tendons (supraspinatus tendon tears, subscapularis tendon tears)
Foot
Achilles tendon tears
Plantar tendon cracks
Wrist
Skapholunary band
Elbow joint
collateral ligament
Knee joint
Meniscus
Patellar tendon
The tissue repairs are carried out without surgery under local anesthesia and under MRI control with a fibrin glue (tisseel). The subsequent healing is promoted by injections of growth factors (ACS). Since August 2016 we have treated more than 830 patients with this new method developed by ourselfs.
