Access personalized Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
At Apollo Spectra Hospital, patients can access Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) through specialised cartilage restoration facilities staffed by experienced orthopaedic specialists. Established in 2012, the NABH, NABL hospital is located in Pune, India, and has 30 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.
