Stem cells can regrow damaged tissue in joints
Stem cells when injected inside knee joint have ability to repair destructed cartilage and ligaments and form a new tissues .
To repair the arthritic cartilage and form a new tissues
stem cell therapy is used to repair the arthritic cartilage and form a new tissues
THIS IS INJECTING STEM CELLS OBTAINED FROM BONE MARROW ASPIRATION ,INJECTING IT IN THE KNEE TO IMROVE SYMPTOMS OF OSTEOARTHRITIS IN THE KNEE.
Certain type of stem cell, called mesenchymal stem cell [MSCs], can be obtained from various sources including: bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, placenta etc are usually useful in tissue regeneration ie treating injured or degenerative joints including knee joints.
After obtaining these stem cells from specific sources, for instance the bone marrow, they undergo centrifugation and other procedures in the research laboratory then they can be injected into the affected joints.
With regard to joint disorders, various forms of stem cells, particularly MSCs, have been found to be useful in the treatment of the following causes of joint problems/diseases:
1- Tissue injuries
2- Osteoarthritis
3- Arthritis due to autoimmune or collagen vascular disorders such as: rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythromatosis [SLE].
not yet evident if it helps knee osteoarthritis healing
it supports the self-healing process of the knees' cartilage which relieves the symptoms
Stem cell have some potencial in repontenciate ( repair ) in some degree the cartilage damage but depend of the artritits grade it coludnt be the solution
Stem cells obtained from bone marrow aspiration.It injected in to the knee joint to repair destructed cartilage and ligaments and to form new tissues.
