Stem cell treatment for Cartilage abnormalities
Cartilage disorders are problems in which the cartilage in the joints becomes damaged or deteriorates. These conditions can occur due to various factors, such as overuse, injuries, or wear and tear. Cartilage abnormalities can cause pain and discomfort and affect people of various ages. Our stem cell treatment for cartilage disorders involves direct administration of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells to promote the repair of damaged cartilage and improve joint health. This can lead to an improvement in the recovery process and an increased quality of life.
How is our stem cell transplant for Cartilage abnormalities performed in Istanbul?
Stem cell therapy may present a more suitable and effective treatment for cartilage abnormalities. Although this treatment is still in the experimental phase, clinical studies indicate that stem cells can indeed assist in repairing cartilage abnormalities in conditions such as osteoarthritis and cartilage defects in the knee. A study examining the injection of stem cells into knees with significant cartilage defects demonstrated that the treated knees exhibited better results for cartilage healing.
Patients may experience relief from their pain, cartilage restoration, and avoidance of surgeries, not only for knee cartilage abnormalities but also for those in the hip, shoulder, ankle, wrist, elbow, and other joints at the extremities of the body.

Discuss your situationHow does our stem cell treatment for cartilage abnormalities work?
All our stem cell treatments in Istanbul are assessed and administered by specialists in the field, trained in the United States and Turkey, and not solely by general practitioners. We do this to ensure the highest level of precision, understanding of the condition and quality of treatment for our patients. We are 100% open and honest with our patients. Not everyone is eligible for our stem cell treatments.
We decline treatment for many patients after our specialist reviews their current health and medical history and determines that treatment is unsuitable. This avoids false promises or expectations when the risks outweigh the benefits. For this reason, and to ensure patient safety in all our treatments, each patient is assessed by the specialist before they can plan their treatment.

For patients with cartilage abnormalities complaints, our specialist must know the patient's age and previous medical treatments. In addition, he will need to review the test results you will be asked to provide.

Frequently asked questions
Can stem cell therapy cure my cartilage defects?
An improvement in symptoms is different from a cure. Whether stem cell therapy is a reasonable option for you depends on your diagnosis, previous treatment and the evidence for the proposed protocol. Discuss realistic goals and how progress would be measured; an individual outcome cannot be guaranteed.
Discuss pain, mobility and activity tolerance separately. Less pain does not automatically mean that cartilage, a tendon or other tissue has demonstrably regenerated.
Which risks and side effects should I discuss?
Risks depend on the cell product, the administration method and your health. Ask the doctor to explain possible side effects and complications, how they would be managed and whom to contact after returning home. Injections and infusions are not risk-free.
How effective is this stem cell treatment for cartilage abnormalities?
Potential outcomes vary between people and treatment protocols. Your assessment should cover specific goals, the available research and the remaining uncertainties. Agree on when and how results will be assessed. Another patient’s experience cannot reliably predict your own outcome.
Discuss pain, mobility and activity tolerance separately. Less pain does not automatically mean that cartilage, a tendon or other tissue has demonstrably regenerated.
How is my suitability assessed?
Medical assessment comes before treatment planning. Share your diagnosis, current symptoms, medication, previous treatments and available test results. The specialist considers potential benefits, risks and alternatives. Further assessment may be needed, and treatment may not be appropriate.
