Access personalized Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
At Medical Park Fatih Hospital, patients can access Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) through specialised cartilage restoration facilities staffed by experienced orthopaedic specialists. Established in 2007, the JCI hospital is located in Istanbul, Turkey, and has 246 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.
