What is

osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a rheumatic disease that causes progressive degeneration of cartilage in a joint. It can affect any joint, causing inflammation, pain and deformity in varying degrees.

Over time, we all end up suffering from osteoarthritis. The disease develops in two stages: in the first stage (silent), pain is not experienced, but in the second stage (active), the patient feels pain, inflammation and cartilage degeneration. Stem cell treatment is mostly indicated in the second stage, although it can also be applied in the silent phase as a preventive treatment.

Knee
osteoarthritis

The knee is one of the joints that most often develops osteoarthritis, since it supports the entire weight of the body when walking, running or climbing stairs.

Osteoarthritis can affect any other joints of the body:

Hips
Elbows
Wrists
Hands
Ankles

Feet
Shoulders
Facet joint

Osteoarthritis Treatment with expanded mesenchymal stem cells

Treatment with expanded mesenchymal stem cells for knee osteoarthritis can stop the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage and achieve its regeneration, in addition to relieving pain and walking difficulty.

Our treatment has proven to be effective in 80% of patients on average. However, results depend on each case and a prior assessment is essential.

During the first 3 months pain relief can be perceived, and a functional recovery of the joint progressively improves between the first and second year.

The great efficacy demonstrated in knee studies and the absence of complications has been the basis for extending the treatment to the rest of the joints.

Up to now, the processes of bone marrow harvesting and cell inoculation, after the expansion process, have shown that they are safe methodologies, without evidence of adverse effects.

Our process
Stem Cell Osteoarthritis Treatment

01. Assessment

The medical team assesses the patient and his medical history in order to offer the best solution in each case.
02. Authorisation request to health authorities

The Spanish Medicine Agency (AEMPS) authorises and controls each treatment.
03. Bone marrow harvesting or adipose tissue obtaining

Stem cells are obtained by bone marrow harvesting, specifically from the posterior area of the iliac crest bone. It can also be obtained by adipose tissue liposuction.

Extraction is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require hospitalisation.

It is performed by local anaesthesia and sedation, and lasts approximately 20-30 minutes.
04. Isolation, culture and expansion of expanded mesenchymal stem cells in the accredited laboratory

The aspirated sample is sent to the laboratory responsible for selecting adult stem cells, culturing and expanding them.

For each patient, a dose is prepared according to the indication, and the maximum viability of the cells is guaranteed.
05. Application of expanded mesenchymal stem cells

Stem cells received from the laboratory are injected into the affected area.

The application procedure is performed with or without sedation and does not require hospitalisation.
06. Follow-up

The medical team closely monitors each case to control its evolution.
