London Cartilage Clinic

London Cartilage Clinic is a specialist private clinic at 66 Harley Street, London, dedicated to cartilage care, joint preservation and regenerative orthopaedics. The clinic provides assessment and treatment for cartilage damage, osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries and other conditions affecting joint health and movement.

Founded and led by Professor Paul Lee, an award winning, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and medical engineer, the clinic combines orthopaedic expertise with an understanding of cartilage biology, biomechanics and rehabilitation. Its approach follows four principles: preserve, repair, regenerate and replace, with an emphasis on preserving natural joint tissue wherever clinically appropriate.

Patients have access to both non-surgical and surgical treatment options. Depending on the diagnosis, these may include image-guided injections, biological and scaffold-based cartilage treatments, cartilage repair, meniscus repair and ligament surgery. Joint replacement is considered when it offers the most appropriate treatment.

Care is tailored to each patient’s symptoms, imaging findings, activity levels and personal goals. Consultations help patients understand their diagnosis and explore treatment options, including the supporting evidence, potential benefits, limitations and recovery requirements. Rehabilitation and follow-up support the wider treatment pathway.

London Cartilage Clinic welcomes patients with joint pain and sports injuries, alongside those seeking a specialist second opinion on a diagnosis or proposed operation. The clinic’s aim is to help patients make informed decisions about their care and work towards improved comfort, mobility and long-term joint function.
