Cartilage defects also start with a disbalance of immune substances in the cartilage. Due to an imbalance between arthrosis-inducing (e.g. Interleukin I) and arthrosis-reducing immune substances (receptor antagonist IL- 1Ra) the development of arthrosis is furthered.
Here Orthokin stimulates the monocytes which make up the protective immuneprotein IL-1Ra, which is missing in the body of arthrosis patients. Aided by a physical process, the necessary protective proteins are produced out of the patient's own blood which is directly injected into the diseased area, into the articular space. This autologous serum disposes of the damaging immune substances, breaks their efficacy and so the natural balance of the immune substances is regained.
Thus the process of cartilage damage can be stopped.
