Stem Cells – orthopaedics

Stem cell therapy in orthopedics is a modern treatment method that utilizes the body's natural regenerative abilities. The procedure helps to rebuild damaged tissue, reduce pain, and improve joint and muscle function. It is an innovative solution for patients with orthopedic problems who want to avoid invasive surgery.

Stem cell therapy is an innovative treatment that involves harvesting these cells from the patient’s own body, most commonly from adipose tissue or bone marrow. The cells are then transplanted into the area requiring regeneration. Stem cells have a unique ability to transform into different types of tissue, effectively supporting the repair of structures such as joints, muscles, and cartilage. The therapy is minimally invasive and well tolerated by the body, with results often noticeable just a few weeks after the procedure.

Indications

Treatment of osteoarthritis

Stem cell therapy is recommended for osteoarthritis, especially of the knees, hips, and shoulders. The injection of stem cells stimulates the regeneration of joint cartilage and reduces pain and inflammation. It is a modern method that improves joint function and delays the need for endoprosthetics.

Rehabilitation after tendon and ligament injuries

Stem cells are used in the regeneration of tendon and ligament damage, such as ACL tears and rotator cuff injuries. Thanks to its ability to repair tissue, the therapy accelerates the healing process and reduces the risk of complications. The treatment allows for a faster return to full fitness, especially in athletes.

Damage to the articular cartilage

Stem cells are particularly effective in regenerating cartilage in cases of damage caused by injury or overload. The treatment supports tissue regeneration and improves cushioning in the joint, reducing pain and stiffness. This method is recommended for treating patients with early degenerative changes.

Chronic inflammation and post-traumatic conditions of the joints

Stem cell therapy is used to treat chronic joint inflammation and post-traumatic conditions. The cells have anti-inflammatory properties and support tissue regeneration, reducing pain and improving joint mobility. This innovative approach can be an alternative to traditional pharmacological therapies.

The mechanism of action of stem cells in orthopedics

Stem cells are used in the treatment of orthopedic conditions due to their ability to regenerate damaged tissues such as cartilage, tendons, and bones. When injected into the site of injury, these cells transform into specialized cells appropriate for the tissue in question, supporting the repair process. What is more, they secrete growth factors that stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms.

The use of stem cells in various orthopedic conditions

Stem cell therapy is used to treat osteoarthritis, ligament damage, tendonitis, and difficult-to-heal fractures. In the case of osteoarthritis, stem cells can regenerate damaged cartilage, reduce pain, and improve joint mobility. In addition, their use is particularly promising in the treatment of athletes, enabling a faster return to full fitness.

Safety and benefits of using stem cells

Stem cell therapy is considered safe because it often uses the patient's own cells, eliminating the risk of rejection or allergic reactions. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis, allowing for a quick return to daily activities. In addition, thanks to its ability to regenerate tissue, the therapy can significantly reduce the need for invasive surgical procedures in the future.

Frequently asked questions

Our patients before surgery

What is stem cell therapy in orthopedics?

Stem cell therapy in orthopedics involves injecting autologous (patient-derived) stem cells into damaged tissues such as joints, tendons, or ligaments. These cells are most often harvested from the patient's adipose tissue or bone marrow and have the ability to regenerate and repair damaged tissue, supporting the healing process and reducing pain.
