Listen to a patient’s review at 5 months for SVF treatment of knee arthritis. Her condition has tremendously improved. She has improvement of pain score, walking distance, stiffness, gait and collateral improvement in other joints as well.

This lady has a lot of improvement in her condition after five months. Her pain is much less, her stiffness has gone, her gait is straight, and her overall function is better.

What is the SVF and PRP treatment that this lady underwent?

Combined SVF and PRP treatment, also known as platelet-rich stroma (PRS) treatment, is a regenerative medicine therapy that uses two components derived from the patient’s own body to treat knee osteoarthritis. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF): This is a collection of cells isolated from fat tissue, such as the abdomen or thighs. SVF contains stem cells, endothelial cells, pericytes, and immune cells. These cells have the potential to differentiate into various cell types and promote tissue repair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): This is a concentrated preparation of platelets obtained from the patient’s blood. Platelets contain growth factors and cytokines that promote tissue healing and regeneration.

How is it done?

PRS treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes about an hour. Here’s a general overview of the steps involved: A small amount of fat tissue is harvested from the patient using liposuction. The fat tissue is processed to isolate the SVF. Blood is drawn from the patient and centrifuged to create PRP. The SVF and PRP are combined to create the PRS solution. The PRS solution is injected into the affected knee joint under ultrasound guidance.

Benefits –

PRS treatment is a relatively new therapy, and more research is needed to confirm its long-term efficacy. However, some studies have shown that it may be effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The potential benefits of PRS treatment include: Reduced pain and inflammation Improved joint function Increased range of motion Slowed progression of osteoarthritis Risks and side effects PRS treatment is generally considered to be safe. However, there are some potential risks and side effects associated with the procedure, such as Pain at the injection site Infection Bleeding Allergic reactions

Is it right for me?

If you are considering PRS treatment for knee osteoarthritis, it is important to talk to your doctor to discuss the potential benefits and risks and to see if it is right for you. Dr. A.K. Venkatachalam offers consultation at Chennai Meenakshi multi-specialty hospital by appointment. Book yours today. Call the hospital at 044 42938938. PRS treatment is not a cure for osteoarthritis, but it may be a viable option for people who are looking for a non-surgical treatment to manage their pain and improve their quality of life. Here are some additional things to keep in mind: PRS treatment is not covered by most insurance plans. There is limited scientific evidence on the long-term efficacy of PRS treatment. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced provider to perform the procedure.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions. #SVFtreatment #kneearthritis #PRStreatmentchennai

PRP treatment knee arthritis success story

Long-Term Pain Relief and Functional Improvement:

  • 70-year-old  Mrs.Swarnalatha  underwent PRP injections five years ago for moderate knee osteoarthritis. She reports sustained pain relief and increased joint function, allowing her to participate in activities he previously avoided due to pain.
  • She had a knee replacement in one knee by Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam
  •  In this video, a seventy-three-year-old lady shares her 5-year success of PRP injection to left knee and Total knee replacement to right knee for OA knee. Her surgery was in early 2019 and the original diagnosis was OA knee. She was treated with a PRP injection in her left knee and a total knee replacement in her right knee. The results are as follows: 1. PRP injection: After injection, she had improved range of motion (ROM), less pain, and improved quality of life. 2. Total knee replacement to right knee: After surgery, she had improved range of motion (ROM), less pain, and improved quality of life. She also regained her walking speed and strength.

See how an ultrasound-guided injection of the knee joint is done in this video. Platelet-rich plasma is also injected here. Platelet-rich stroma is also injected using the same technique. The procedure is performed in the minor operating theatre after cleaning and draping the patient and observing all aseptic precautions. Ultrasound guidance ensures accurate delivery of the biologic substance into the knee joint under direct visualization on the ultrasound monitor.

Ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is a safe and effective method for treating all grades of knee osteoarthritis (OA) mainly mild to moderate. It is also effective in reducing pain and improving knee function1.

PRP is a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood. Platelets contain growth factors that assist in tissue repair. The PRP is injected into the knee under ultrasound guidance.

Most recent publications show pain alleviation in the short term.

What are platelets?

Platelets are a type of cell in the blood primarily responsible for clotting. In addition to their paramount clotting function, they can also perform tissue repair as they also contain chemicals known as growth factors inside one of the three types of granules inside them which support healing and recovery processes. Platelets have three types of granules inside them known as α–granules, dense granules, and lysosomes. These granules are released when platelets encounter external tissues. Platelets swell and burst and release their granules.

What is ‘PRP therapy knee arthritis Chennai’

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) is a filtrate of plasma rich in platelets. It contains plasma which is the liquid portion of blood and one of the three types of blood cells called platelets. In PRP, plasma contains significantly more platelets than their baseline value in blood, so the concentration of growth factors can be five to 10 times higher.

How is Platelet-rich plasma prepared for injection?

To create platelet-rich plasma, doctors take a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma. See how PRP is prepared in this video.

What is the basis for the actions of platelets?

Platelets are known to provide a diverse array of growth factors that can work independently or with other proteins and cells to improve the healing process. Although the use of PRP in the dermatology and maxillofacial fields dates to more than 50 years, the study and application of this treatment in joint conditions is recent and growing. As mentioned before, the biological rationale for the clinical use of PRP includes the local action of growth factors, the modification of the inflammatory response, and the effects on cell proliferation and differentiation.

PRP is prepared from venous blood by centrifuging venous blood. It is injected into the knee painlessly under local anesthesia. PRP contains growth factors that can repair damaged cartilage.

Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam is an orthopedic surgeon performing joint biological injections in Chennai. His practice is known as the Madras joint replacement center. He performs Joint biologics injections for shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and foot conditions. Knee osteoarthritis is the commonest indication for PRP injection in young patients. Older patients with advanced disease may require an SVF treatment 

PRP injection is done in the office of the doctor. Patients can return home soon after. They may experience some pain on the evening of the procedure but will feel fine the next morning.

Which are the principal areas of the musculoskeletal tissue in which PRP is being used?

Intraarticular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection has emerged as a promising treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Studies to date, including multiple randomized controlled trials, have shown that PRP is a safe and effective treatment option for knee osteoarthritis. Intra-articular PRP is similar in efficacy to hyaluronic acid and seems to be more effective than hyaluronic acid in younger, active patients with low-grade osteoarthritis. Treatment benefits wane after 6-9 months Intraarticular platelet-rich plasma injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: review and recommendations – PubMed (nih.gov)

In addition, they are used to heal tendon, fascia, and ligament degenerative conditions and tears. They are also used to initiate the repair of peripheral nerves like the ulnar and median nerves when these are enlarged and compressed in the elbow and palm as in cubital tunnel and carpal tunnel syndromes.

PRP is also used to accelerate ACL repairs and meniscal repairs in the knee. PRP can be combined with the Stromal vascular fraction to yield platelet-rich stroma (PRS). This is used to treat knee Osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, and cartilage lesions.
