Stem cell treatment for the hip joint
The hip is one of the most important joints in the body, as it helps support a large part of the body weight and contributes to daily movements such as walking, running, or jumping, this makes it susceptible to injury and natural wear over time, which can affect the quality of life of the people.
A common problem in the hip is a disease called osteoarthritis, which consists of the deterioration of the cartilage of this joint, which can cause the patient pain, stiffness, or difficulty in the movements that involve this joint.
One treatment option for this problem is total hip replacement surgery, which is a fairly invasive and in some cases risky intervention that will require a long recovery period. This is why different alternative treatments have emerged for this problem, such as lubricants, steroids, etc., but these have presented various side effects or only improve symptoms for a short time.
Recently, the scientific and clinical community has given attention to stem cell treatment. These cells have the ability to differentiate into other cells in the body and are found naturally in humans, but unfortunately, their production gradually declines with increasing age.
These cells are obtained from different tissues such as the umbilical cord, adipose tissue, bone marrow, and also from the placenta.Treatment Benefits
The cells are applied directly to the joint, where their action begins, which is to release exosomes that have anti-inflammatory capacities and also release growth factors that promote tissue repair, causing joint repair and therefore improvement of the joint’s symptoms.
