CARTISTEM® Stem Cell Cartilage Restoration Course

The CARTISTEM® Stem Cell Cartilage Restoration Course is an advanced physician training program focused on umbilical cord blood–derived stem cell–based cartilage regeneration for knee joint preservation. This course provides structured exposure to the clinical principles, surgical techniques, and treatment planning behind CARTISTEM®-based autologous cartilage restoration. Participants observe and engage in real-world procedures used to repair complex cartilage defects that cannot be adequately treated with conventional methods. Emphasis is placed on restoring hyaline-like cartilage, optimizing long-term joint function, and minimizing the need for joint replacement. The program is designed for doctors seeking practical, evidence-based expertise in regenerative orthopedic surgery.
