The Method of Stem Cell Regeneration

We use fat stem cells, which are harvested from the patient’s abdominal fat reserves – our body’s richest source of mesenchymal adult stem cells. 

Commonly known as bone marrow has approximately 1,000 times fewer stem cells per volume than fat.

Once we have isolated the specific stem cells, they are then injected into the specific area of damage using real-time arthroscopy guidance.

After injection, these powerful stem cells and their excellent regenerative capacity can potentially and quite dramatically reduce inflammation, encourage the growth of new blood vessels to encourage healing and stimulate the body to repair itself and replace cartilage that has been damaged and worn out over time or been traumatised from injury or overuse.

Whether the damaged area is the result of a traumatic sports injury or the product of daily “wear and tear” (osteoarthritis), fat stem cell therapy for joints and soft tissue may offer a powerful solution to resolving the ongoing discomfort. Both long-standing and more newly acquired injuries have the potential to benefit from this state-of-the-art treatment.

A suitable candidate for stem cell treatment for joints & soft tissue is someone who suffers from a painful cartilage injury from overuse, trauma, or debilitating conditions, including degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Stem Cell Treatment can also be beneficial for patients suffering from tendonitis and ligament injuries.

In addition, an excellent candidate for Stem Cell Treatment also has slow-healing or non-union fractures.

Much of the early work in this field has been devoted to chronic injuries. We are also seeing dramatic improvement in recovery times for acute and sub-acute injuries.

These can include new-onset partial tear of ligaments (ie. ACL, MCL, PCL), tendons (ie. Supraspinatous, Achilles, Biceps, Quadriceps), bones (ie. Non-Displaced Tibial Plateau, Humeral Head, Ankle, Wrist), and cartilage (ie. Radial Meniscal tears and other meniscus injuries of the knee, traumatised joint surfaces).

We have seen active patients return to activity much more rapidly with greatly decreased pain and improved mobility following early intervention for acute and sub-acute injuries.

Joints and soft tissue injuries and conditions treated with fat stem cell therapy:

• Knees
• Shoulders
• Wrists
• Ankles
• Hands and Feet
• Hips
• Elbows
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Tennis and Golfers’ Elbow
• Bicep Tendonitis

At Kliniken, we will conduct a careful history and physical examination as well as a thorough review of appropriate imaging (x-ray and/or MRI) to determine whether your condition is suitable for fat stem cell therapy for joint pains. Individual patient results may vary.
