Joint Treatment for Patients from Giza

PRP means platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood; SVF means a cell fraction isolated from a small portion of your adipose tissue. Working in different ways, they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect.

Both methods use your own tissue, so the risk of rejection or an allergic reaction is very low. As with any injection, temporary pain, swelling or bruising are possible, and infection is rare. The doctor explains the risks for your case at the consultation.

There is no single answer. The effect of PRP often lasts several months to about a year, and SVF can last longer. Duration depends on your body and the stage of the condition, and no one can promise a fixed result.

Cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, pregnancy and a flare-up of a serious chronic illness all rule the procedure out. The doctor checks this at the consultation.

At early stages, PRP or SVF injections combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can reduce pain and improve movement. If the joint is already badly damaged, replacement may be the more realistic option — the doctor will tell you honestly after seeing your scans.

At stages 1–2, SVF therapy can be considered to help the blood supply to the femoral head and delay joint replacement; at later stages surgery is usually necessary.

Replacement is major surgery that brings long rehabilitation, risks including infection, and implants that may eventually need redoing. So with early or moderate changes it often makes sense to first try preserving your own joint.

Yes. Once we receive your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you whether the procedure could be right for you and what else may be needed.

Within a day or two, as a rule. There are no crutches and no lengthy rehabilitation; the doctor provides recommendations on exercise and load for the first weeks.

PRP is used for problems of the shoulder joint and the rotator cuff, and SVF may be considered for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder. Whether it suits you depends on the cause of the pain, which the doctor establishes first.
