What is regenerative
joint treatment?

In regenerative joint therapy, two materials from your own body are used — platelet-rich plasma (PRP), taken from blood, and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), taken from a small adipose tissue sample. Once injected into the affected joint, they work to cut pain and inflammation and support the tissues there.

This treatment suits people with painful joints who would like to avoid or delay surgery, or who have been told that only a joint replacement will help. The earlier the stage, the better the prospect of a lasting result — the doctor judges this from your scans.

Joints we treat

Small joints and large ones alike — your scans guide the doctor's choice of joint, method and number of injections

Methods we use

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — a combination of cells involved in tissue repair — is isolated by processing a small sample of your adipose tissue. It is combined with your plasma and injected into the joint that needs treatment.

It is usually the choice when changes in the joint are more marked and the aim is a longer-lasting effect.

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

A little of your blood is enough to separate platelet-rich plasma full of growth factors. Injected into the joint, it calms inflammation and improves conditions for tissue repair.

A course of injections can be done with it alone, or it can be paired with SVF.

How the procedure goes: step by step

Consultation and scan review

First comes an examination: the doctor checks the joint and your X-ray, MRI or ultrasound images and decides whether the procedure fits. If you have scans already, send them in advance.

Blood sample for PRP

All it takes is a little venous blood; later on it becomes platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors.
 
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.

Adipose tissue sample

The doctor numbs the area with local anaesthetic and takes about 30 ml of adipose tissue through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh. Stitches are not needed.

Processing in a centrifuge

Spinning the sample in a centrifuge separates it into layers, after which the stromal vascular fraction is isolated and added to the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.

Injection into the joint

The prepared material is injected directly into the affected joint under ultrasound guidance, which helps place it precisely.

Follow-up

Afterwards there are no crutches and no hospital stay, and the doctor keeps in touch to follow how the joint is responding.

Follow-up visits

After 1 month
3 months
6 months

During follow-up visits the doctor checks the joint's response and adapts the plan: pain usually subsides in the first month, movement improves over about three months and the full effect develops over around six months.

After the procedure

Small dressings go over the puncture sites and, in most cases, you go home the same day and return to normal daily activity within a day or two. During the first week a little more aching in the joint is an expected reaction. Pain usually eases over the first month; mobility and activity improve over around three months; the full effect develops over about six months. Duration differs between individuals, depending on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — no fixed result can be promised by anyone. The doctor gives individual advice on exercise and load for the first weeks.

  2. 1 month

  4. ~6 months

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions

Joint treatment in Mukalla: from scan review to follow-up

Joint treatment in Mukalla is built around keeping your own joint. Instead of a long rehabilitation after surgery, you get injections under local anaesthetic, no crutches and no hospital stay, and the doctor stays in touch afterwards.

Before the procedure, the doctor tells you which tests are needed. If you already have X-rays, MRI or ultrasound results, patients from Mukalla can send them in advance and receive a preliminary answer on whether the treatment could suit them.

The cost of joint treatment depends on the joint, the stage of the condition and the method, so the price is set at the consultation. The initial consultation and review of your scans are free for patients from Mukalla. Leave your name and phone number, and a coordinator will contact you.
