Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?

Asked for Male, 23

My brother is 23 years old and he suffered from covid before 9 months and he had pain in hip joint and legs so we did mri and the reports said AVN in hip joint 2-3 stage so they suggested surgery to drill in bone to start the blood flow as before . I want to know the percentage of success and how operation will take place

Answered on 23rd May '24

At stage 2-3 in young individuals, it is possible to save to original hip joint with the said procedure. percentage of success varies from patient to patient. certain procedures done along with drilling are known to increase the chances of success
