Access personalized Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
Zulekha Hospital Sharjah offers advanced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) using modern cartilage restoration techniques and internationally accepted treatment protocols. Established in 1992, the JCI hospital is located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, with 185 beds and provides specialised orthopaedic care for local and international patients.
ACI is a cartilage restoration procedure used to treat selected focal cartilage defects, particularly in the knee. Healthy cartilage cells are collected from the patient's joint, expanded in a laboratory, and later implanted into the damaged area. The orthopaedic specialist evaluates the size and location of the cartilage defect, joint stability, and overall knee health before treatment.
