Hospital Quironsalud Barcelona offers specialised Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) using modern cartilage restoration technology and established orthopaedic treatment protocols. Established in 1944, the JCI, ISO hospital is situated in Barcelona, Spain, with 165 beds, serving local and international patients.
ACI is designed to support the repair of damaged joint cartilage using the patient's own cartilage cells. Treatment typically involves harvesting cells during an initial procedure, expanding them in the laboratory, and implanting them into the cartilage defect during a subsequent procedure. Before treatment, the orthopaedic team evaluates the patient's symptoms, cartilage defect, joint condition, imaging results, and suitability for cell-based cartilage restoration.
At Quironsalud Marbella Hospital, patients can access Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) through specialised cartilage restoration facilities staffed by experienced orthopaedic specialists. Established in 1979, the ISO hospital is located in Marbella, Spain, and has 120 beds.
ACI uses the patient's own cartilage cells to help repair a localised cartilage defect. The treatment generally involves two stages: harvesting healthy chondrocytes and expanding them in a laboratory, followed by implantation into the damaged area. Imaging and clinical assessment help determine whether the patient is suitable for this treatment.
