[Long-term treatment of arthrosis using Arumalon].

Cartilage and bone marrow extracts have been used to enhance cartilage mucopolysaccharide levels. The value of this form of treatment was appraised in 250 groups of 250 patients with well established arthrosis. Comparison was made between standard management with anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, anti-rheumatic compounds, physiotherapy and heat treatment, and management with the addition of cartilage and bone marrow extracts (Arumalon) over a period of 5 yr.
