Learn the reasoning behind Professor Lee’s ChondroFiller injection approach

This ChondroFiller training course is for clinicians developing a cartilage-preservation service, as well as experienced injectors exploring liquid collagen treatment. The focus is the complete clinical pathway: recognising the cartilage problem, understanding the proposed treatment, planning image-guided delivery and reviewing the patient afterwards. Training with Professor Lee gives clinicians a setting to examine the reasoning behind his approach and relate it to their own practice.

Learning focus 01

From cartilage surgery to non-surgical injection training

Professor Lee’s ChondroFiller teaching starts with the clinical problem: how to preserve a joint while making a realistic assessment of the available options. His experience across cartilage-preservation techniques gives the injection discussion a wider context than product handling alone.

Learning focus 02

Discuss the cases that challenge your decision-making

A cartilage finding on MRI does not answer every question. Bring questions about the relationship between symptoms, imaging, function and the patient’s goals, and how those features influence a preservation strategy.

Case-based discussion

Cartilage. Scaffold. Clinical context.

01

Understand the cartilage problem

02

Explore the collagen scaffold

03

Connect rationale with the evidence

Learning focus 03

Connect ultrasound guidance with the treatment plan

ChondroFiller injection training with Professor Lee explores how procedural planning follows from the assessment. Relevant discussion includes the intended target, anatomical orientation, image interpretation and the practical questions that arise when planning access.

Learning focus 04

Understand preparation and handling in clinical context

Device preparation belongs within a planned clinical workflow. Discuss the questions that link the current product instructions to room preparation, team communication and the sequence of a treatment appointment.

Consistency in practice

Room & equipment

Prepare the setting and understand the device.

Team & patient

Clarify roles, clinical checks and communication.

Record & review

Connect documentation with accessible follow-up.

Learning focus 05

Follow the patient beyond the injection appointment

Professor Lee’s experience provides a basis for discussing the follow-up questions that matter in practice: how to explain the treatment pathway, how loading and rehabilitation are planned and how clinical progress is reviewed.

Explain cartilage preservation clearly to patients

Clinicians need language that helps a patient understand the treatment rationale without turning a biological concept into a promise. Discuss the difference between a collagen scaffold, symptom improvement and a demonstrated structural outcome.

Injection training: your questions

Find the course that fits your clinical role, experience and learning goals.

Discuss your training requirements →
Who is the ChondroFiller training course for?

Orthopaedic surgeons, sports and exercise medicine physicians and other appropriately qualified clinicians involved in cartilage care and joint injections. Eligibility depends on professional scope, prior experience and the practical format. Include your specialty and current ultrasound/injection experience when enquiring.

Does the course cover non-surgical ChondroFiller injection?

Yes. The educational focus includes the non-surgical injection approach pioneered in Professor Lee’s practice, alongside patient selection, imaging and follow-up. The distinction from arthroscopic cartilage treatment is part of the discussion.

Is this a musculoskeletal ultrasound course for beginners?

The focus is ChondroFiller-specific decision-making and injection planning. It is not presented as a complete foundation course in MSK ultrasound. Discuss your experience before booking so the team can advise whether this training is an appropriate next step.

Is hands-on ChondroFiller training available?

Ask the team to confirm the practical format for the London session you are considering. Do not assume that a demonstration, supervised model practice, clinical observation or live-patient injecting is included until the arrangements are confirmed.

Can I discuss difficult cartilage cases?

You can enquire about case-based teaching and bring the clinical questions you want to address. Ask how to prepare anonymised case material and imaging; do not send identifiable patient information through a general enquiry form.

Where can I read about ChondroFiller before the course?

The linked ChondroFiller treatment and evidence guides provide background for discussion. They complement, rather than replace, the current manufacturer instructions, clinical literature and training appropriate to your role.

Where are the injection training courses held?

The London programme is hosted through London Cartilage Clinic. Confirm the session venue, access arrangements and timetable before making travel plans. The I AM Regen Congress workshops linked from these pages are separate events with their own locations and booking arrangements.

How much do the courses cost, and when are the next dates?

Dates, fees, availability and the session format are confirmed directly by the LCC training team. Enquire with your preferred technique, specialty, experience and availability to discuss the next suitable session.

Will I receive a certificate or CPD points?

Ask what documentation and any accreditation apply to the London session you are booking. A certificate of attendance, an assessed competency award and manufacturer authorisation are different things. These pages do not promise CPD points or certification.

Who the programme is for

Orthopaedic surgeons, sports-medicine doctors and appropriately qualified clinicians developing their joint-preservation practice. Teaching connects patient selection, practical technique and follow-up, with space to discuss clinical questions.

The team will confirm the format, practical elements and prerequisites for each London session. Enquire with your specialty, experience and preferred technique.
