Knee Treatment

Stem cell therapy is a novel and effective approach to the treatment of knee joints arthritis based on the unique ability of stem cells to restore the cartilage and the structure of knee joint.

Stem cells are the source of chondroblasts and chondrocytes, responsible for the formation and restoration of extracellular matrix of cartilage.

Since fetal stem cells show full immune histocompatibility, such therapy helps to achieve quite fast improvements without any kind of immune suppression.

There are three types of knee joints arthritis:

• Stage 1 – possible spurs, light narrowing of articular cavity.
• Stage 2 – present spurs, light narrowing of articular cavity.
• Stage 3 – moderate spurs, possible deformity of the bones, exact narrowing of articular cavity.

After intra articular or para articular injections of fetal stem cells patients can expect for the following improvements, depending on the stage of knee joints damage:

• Stage 1 – restoration of articular structures because of increased amount of chondrocytes.
• Stage 2 – Slowing down of degenerative changes, decreasing of pain syndrome and improved the mobility in the joint.
• Stage 3 – postponing of surgical treatment, slowing down of degenerative changes and elimination of pain syndrome.

Repeated injections of fetal stem cells proved to induce accumulative effect and can maintain the positive results of treatment of the joints.

The most optimal method for the injections is based on the results of X-Ray study. After the procedure each patient is recommended to avoid extensive physical activity. Over 1 week after the injections to the joint, the patient can come back to usual activity of daily life.

The first positive changes can be seen over several days. Such advantages are related to anti-inflammatory properties of biologically active substances, which are the part of stem cell suspension we inject.

The main improvements, caused by increased amount of chondrocytes and much intense formation of extracellular matrix can be seen over 2-3 months.

The results can last for 1-2 years, if each patient follows all recommendations from the treating doctor.
