About Autologous Cell Therapy

Autologous cell therapy is a new type of orthopedic treatment for tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscle, and bone. Autologous cell therapy can be helpful for specific conditions, such as osteoarthritis or bone grafting. The procedure involves first removing cells from the patient's bone marrow or body fat. Next, lab techniques are used to multiply and differentiate the cells. The patient's cultured cells are injected to the affected site, where the cells enhance healing. There is a reduced risk of rejection because the cells originated from the individual. Autologous cell therapy is advantageous because it has the potential to achieve more than what can be treated with surgery alone.
