Cartilage Cell Therapy - Regrow Cartilage in The Joints

Articular cartilage is a slippery and shock-absorbing tissue layer. Losing this layer causes joint pain and arthritis. In India, a vast population is affected by this health condition. Nearly 1 in 3 older adults suffer from joint pain or arthritis. And a far higher number of people are burdened by joint pain and inflammation. Articular cartilage is a complex tissue that functions as a slick and bouncy cushion between the joint bones. Cartilage can get damaged due to injury, trauma, disease or simply due to aging. This leads to the bones rubbing each other which eventually results in arthritis.

Damaged cartilage can be treated with microfracture. In this technique, tiny holes are drilled into the joint surface. The technique triggers our body to create new cartilage tissue in the joint. But the newly regenerated tissues are not much like cartilage. They are more like scar tissue and are called fibrocartilage. They differ a lot from natural cartilage, and it just covers the bone but does not have the bounce or elasticity like natural cartilage. Moreover, cells generated due to this cartilage surgery tend to degrade pretty quickly

Joint replacement surgery has become a common way to treat arthritis pain in joints. 1 in 10 older adults aged 80 or over with arthritis goes under joint replacement surgery. But such surgeries are extremely invasive and offer a limited lifespan. Moreover, such surgeries are performed only after patients experience severe pain. On the other hand, cell therapy can help older adults to avoid arthritis by inducing new cartilage cells in joints. Cartilage made of natural cartilage cells grown with cartilage cell therapy helps to restore mobility better and improve pain significantly. It is possible that in the near future, this therapy can help eliminate the pain that patients experience due to arthritis.

Avascular necrosis, also referred to as AVN or osteonecrosis, is the loss of blood flow that causes bone structures to die. The illness AVN progresses, limiting movement and eventually collapsing the afflicted joint. What are the common symptoms of AVN? The patients who complain about the pain in the hip joint also exhibited the following symptoms along with the hip pain.
