Medipost is a manufacturer of knee cartilage treatment 'Cartistem', and Cartistem is an allogeneic umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cell product used to treat cartilage defects in degenerative arthritis patients. It has been proven to be stable and effective in treating arthritis through many years of research and clinical practice, and it is known to be effective especially when combined with treatment in the case of the flexor correction, 'radical tibial fracture (HTO)'.



Director Chung Gu-hwang has been implementing the treatment for many years, and confirmed that Cartistem treatment on the inner cartilage of the knee damaged by the O-shaped leg is effective in correcting O-legged as well as regenerating knee cartilage.
