If you are suffering from knee osteoarthritis, there are modern treatment options that aim to relieve pain and delay or avoid joint replacement. Two such approaches include stem cell therapy and knee joint preservation surgery.
Stem Cell Treatment:
This therapy involves injecting stem cells, often derived from your own bone marrow or fat tissue, into the affected knee. These cells may help reduce inflammation and support the repair of damaged cartilage. While promising, stem cell therapy is still considered investigational and results can vary.
Joint Preservation Surgery:
This includes a range of surgical techniques designed to protect and maintain your natural knee joint. Options like high tibial osteotomy (realigning the knee), cartilage repair, or meniscus restoration aim to relieve pain, improve function, and delay the need for total knee replacement—especially effective in younger or active patients with early-stage arthritis.
Always consult your orthopedic specialist to determine which treatment is most suitable based on your specific condition and lifestyle.
