In degeneratively altered joints, the percentage of the joint&#8217;s own hyaluronic acid is reduced, which is why chronically altered joint cartilage in particular benefits from the positive properties of hyaluronic acid infiltration.   <br><strong>ACP (autologous plasma therapy):<\/strong> As well as being used for chronic overuse syndromes, particularly of the tendon insertions, ACP infiltration is effective for mild to moderate cartilage damage by creating a kind of sealing effect. Platelets, growth factors and stem cells are concentrated in the body&#8217;s own (autologous) blood plasma. It is therefore an endogenous, biological procedure without additives.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c9fc35e animated-slow elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-eae-slider=\"11637\" data-id=\"c9fc35e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6df4114\" data-eae-slider=\"91302\" data-id=\"6df4114\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05e112c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"05e112c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cartilage smoothing<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-936afc7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"936afc7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">This arthoroscopic procedure (keyhole technique) involves the <strong>minimally invasive removal of loose cartilage<\/strong>.
