Arthro-medullary shunting can help preserve the joint, restore mobility, and eliminate pain.
A hollow shunt is implanted into the affected joint. Through this shunt, acting much like an oiler, components of the patient's own bone fat are delivered into the joint to exert a therapeutic effect.
facilitate the gliding of articular surfaces, improve joint mobility, and prevent the wear and tear of articular cartilage.
within bone marrow fat suppress the active formation of toxic free radicals that destroy cartilage tissue. Additionally, they reduce the production of pro-inflammatory molecules—the ones responsible for causing pain and destroying joint tissues.
Bone marrow cartilage progenitor cells
These cells smooth the articular surfaces and accelerate the healing of cartilage defects.
