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.

This disrupts the delivery of vital nutrients and minerals to the bone, which causes the bone tissue to die. The most common cause of AVN is the interruption of blood flow due to an injury or trauma. However, there are other causes as well, such as certain medical conditions or medications. AVN can occur in any bone in the body, but it most commonly affects the hip joint. Cell treatment for avascular necrosis (AVN) is a type of regenerative medicine that uses stem cells to repair and heal damaged tissue. The goal of cell therapy for AVN is to regenerate healthy new cells to replace the damaged ones and improve function. While there is no cure for avascular necrosis, there are treatments that can slow the progression of the disease and relieve symptoms. Treatment options include medications, physical therapy, and surgery. In some cases, a joint replacement may be necessary. What are t
