Many new patients are eagerly awaiting for success stories of PRS treatment for knee arthritis in India. In this post, I share the experience of a middle aged lady who underwent Platelet rich stroma treatment to her left knee in Chennai.
Platelet rich stroma treatment is a combination of Stromal vascular fraction and platelet rich stroma. Platelet rich stroma contains stem cells which can repair damaged cartilage.
Platelets contain growth factors which helps in better proliferation of cells in the stromal vascular fraction ( SVF) . PRP also acts as a scaffold or backbone for the Stem cells in SVF to adhere to the margins of the damaged cartilage.
You will find several success stories of PRS treatment on my Orthobiologic surgery website.
I have followed up up some patients for more than eight years after stem cell treatment for knee arthritis. You can find one such story here. This video proves cartilage repair on MRI report after a couple of years.
