What makes stem cells so promising and effective as in the study above is that they:

1, Can morph into cartilage cells 2. Have a homing mechanism that brings them to the site of damage 3. Since they come from the patient themselves, they are not rejected.

In other research, doctors sought to understand the concept of stem cell therapy’s potential in regenerating cartilage, specifically articular cartilage the tough tissue that covers the ends of bones.

The typical method of repairing this injury is surgery. However articular cartilage lesions represent one of the major unsolved problems in the orthopaedic surgery

Most cases of stem cell and PRP treatments are successful, and avoid the pain, disability, down time, and risk associated with major surgery. There is minimal recovery from a stem cell or PRP treatment, usually mediated by soreness in the area that was treated, and there is also a risk of bruising. There have been no reports of serious adverse effects in the scientific literature when adult mesenchymal stem cells are used in these procedures.

Afterwards, the patient is encouraged to use the joint normally, and follow up treatments of PRP are given in monthly intervals to continue to allow the stem cells to do their work. Since stem cell treatment is very safe, it can be repeated in the joint if necessary to obtain optimal results. Also, having treatment with stem cells would not make a person ineligible for surgery.
