Stem cell treatment knee arthritis Chennai. See this patient’s testimonial

Fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis is a relatively new and promising therapy that is being investigated as a potential way to regenerate damaged cartilage and alleviate pain.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to divide and give rise to specialized cells. They can be found in various parts of the body, including bone marrow, adipose tissue (fat), and umbilical cord blood. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are particularly attractive for stem cell therapy because they are relatively easy to harvest and have the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types, including cartilage cells.

How does fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis work?

The fat-derived stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own body, typically from the abdomen or thigh. The cells are then processed and concentrated in a laboratory. The concentrated stem cells are then injected into the knee joint. Once injected into the knee, the stem cells are believed to have several potential therapeutic effects: Reduce inflammation: Stem cells release anti-inflammatory factors that can help to reduce pain and swelling. Promote cartilage repair: Stem cells may differentiate into cartilage cells and help to repair damaged cartilage. Improve lubrication: Stem cells may help to produce synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint.

What is the evidence for fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis?

There is growing evidence that fat-derived stem cell treatment is safe and effective for knee osteoarthritis. However, more research is needed to determine the long-term efficacy of this treatment. A 2021 study published in the journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy found that intra-articular injection of ADSCs was safe and effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A 2020 study published in the journal Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy found that intra-articular injection of ADSCs with or without platelet-rich plasma was effective in decreasing pain and symptoms in knee osteoarthritis.

What are the risks and side effects of fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis?

The most common side effects of fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis are injection site pain and swelling. Overall, fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis is a promising new therapy that has the potential to improve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.

Are you sick of seeing knee replacements fail among relatives and friends? So did this gentleman from Kolkata who was disillusioned with the hardships that his close relatives faced after a knee replacement. He decided to get a platelet-rich stroma ( PRS) treatment for his knee arthritis. Listen to his testimonial here. Many patients have benefited from PRS or SVF treatment in Chennai

What is PRS treatment?

Platelet-rich stroma (PRS) treatment in Chennai, India is a cutting-edge therapy for knee osteoarthritis (OA) that utilizes the patient’s own adipose (fat) tissue and PRP to promote healing and reduce pain. The treatment begins with a liposuction procedure to harvest adipose tissue from the patient’s thigh. The tissue is then processed to isolate stromal vascular fraction (SVF), which is a rich mixture of cells that include adipose-derived stem cells, endothelial cells, and other stromal cells. Once the SVF is prepared, it is mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to yield PRS, which is injected directly into the knee joint, where it can promote healing and repair of the damaged cartilage. The stem cells in the SVF can differentiate into various types of cells, including chondrocytes (cartilage cells), which can help to rebuild the damaged cartilage in the knee joint. Additionally, the SVF can stimulate the production of growth factors and other molecules that promote healing and reduce inflammation. PRP provides growth factors.

What is the result of PRS treatment

PRS treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients typically experience minimal pain and discomfort during the procedure and can return to normal activities within a few days. The effects of the treatment can be seen within a few weeks and may continue to improve over time. Overall, PRS treatment for knee OA is a promising new therapy that utilizes the patient’s own cells to promote healing and reduce pain. It is a safe and effective option for patients who are seeking an alternative to traditional treatments such as surgery or medication. Platelet-rich stroma was injected into both knees of this gentleman for knee osteoarthritis, following which he has made a quick recovery.

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.
