This procedure is performed using arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) of the hip or knee. The Autologous Stem Cell Therapy procedure Everyone has a supply of adult stem cells (MSCs) in various tissues and these can be harvested using specialised techniques. By using the process, there is no risk of disease transmission, rejection or ethical controversy that can occur by using cells from an unrelated donor. The benefits of stem cellsĪt Highgate Private Hospital stem cells used for the procedure are harvested directly from the patient. Adult stem cells (MSCs) are used for procedures performed at Highgate Private Hospital. Adult stem cells (MSCs) can be found at various locations in the body, including bone marrow, fat tissue and peripheral blood. Adult stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to repair and regenerate tissues such as cartilage and bone more effectively. There are two basic forms of stem cells – the embryonic stem cell and adult stem cell. Stem cells are found in multicellular organisms, like humans, and not only have the ability to divide but also to form various structures such as bone, cartilage and other tissues. This procedure is designed to help preserve the natural hip and knee joints and can delay or potentially prevent the need for a major operation such as a hip or knee replacement.
Autologous Stem Cell Therapy may be used in an attempt to encourage regeneration of this cartilage layer. Arthritic progression will present as pain, stiffness and loss of function in the joint. The cartilage on the joint surface is the barrier to arthritis and once this layer is damaged, it is likely to progress. In joint repair, the role of stem cells is to treat early stage arthritis of the hip and knee joints.

Additional platelets are re-injected again after 3-5 days to keep the stem cells activated and sustain healing mechanism. Re-Injecting Stem CellsĪfter your platelets are concentrated and purified, they are prepared for re-injection to the injured area to help release the growth factors and initiate the healing process and begin tissue regeneration. This whole process is performed manually to enable careful selection of specimen needed to repair the patient’s particular injury. The blood collected is then taken to our laboratory and placed in a centrifuge to be concentrated and purified. This procedure is relatively simple and painless. While patient’s lay with face down, a special needle is inserted into the bone marrow to draw blood. Patient’s skin and bone are numbed using anesthetics. We aspirate the stem cells from the iliac crest bone (back hip bone) using ultrasound or x-ray for precision and guidance. Harvesting stem cells is an in-office procedure. The stem cells found in the marrow cavity of the back hip bone is the easiest to harvest. This is the whole premise of Stem Cell Therapy, to harvest and enhance stem cells and use them initiate the body’s healing response and regenerate tissues (ligaments, tendons and cartilage). Our body keeps a supply of stem cells to help repair injured and damaged tissues at any given time.
