Cartilage Cell Therapy: Expectations vs Reality Do you think that all the physical therapy, painkillers, and ice you are using for knee pain is not seemed to be helping? Did your doctor said that cartilage cell therapy is the only way left to relieve your knee pain? So, what is cartilage cell therapy? It is a patient-specific regenerative medical treatment that involves naturally regrowing original cartilage. This therapy is used for treating articular cartilage of the knee, ankle and shoulder joints. It also helps to replace the missing areas of cartilage.
The expectations Cartilage cell therapy is a new era of medical science and people usually have less knowledge of it. So, the expectations also revolved around their understandings. Here are few myths or expectations that people have: • This treatment wont last long and the pain will be back • It may not work for knees • It is costly and for rich people only • Success rate is low
The reality Stem cells for cartilage surgery is an effective and the patient can get relief from knee arthritis pain for up to 5-7 years. This therapy enables the regeneration of the new cells for up to one year after receiving the treatment. It is a promising treatment approach that let the cartilages regrow which is essential for patients with arthritis, ligament tear, and other knee conditions. Once injected, the damaged tissue of the knee begins to regenerate into healthy cartilage tissue and prevent further damage.
The treatment cost depends largely on the extent of the cartilage damage. It is not a luxury treatment, and you will be given estimates once the doctor gets your radiology lab reports. Although, in India, most of the insurance companies do not cover it. Over the past few years, the success rate of cartilage cell therapy has improved significantly. Many patients including athletes have been benefitted from this therapy.
