What is regenerative
joint treatment?
Your blood provides platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and a small sample of adipose tissue provides the stromal vascular fraction (SVF). In regenerative joint treatment this material goes into the affected joint by injection, helping to reduce pain and inflammation and to support the tissues inside it.
For someone with joint pain who wants to avoid surgery or delay it, or who has been told replacement is the only choice, this is worth considering. The doctor reviews your scans to assess the stage — earlier stages give a better chance of a lasting result.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
A small sample of adipose tissue is taken and processed to obtain the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that take part in tissue repair. Mixed with your own plasma, it is then injected into the affected joint.
This option is usually picked for more advanced changes in the joint, when the goal is an effect that lasts longer.
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.
It may be given alone as a course of injections or combined with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
The doctor examines your joint, looks at your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound and decides whether the procedure is right for you. Scans you already have can be sent ahead of the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
Blood is drawn from a vein — only a small amount. Later, platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is made from it.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
Under local anaesthetic, a small portion of adipose tissue (about 30 ml) is taken through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh. No stitches are needed.
Processing in a centrifuge
The centrifuge separates the sample into layers, the stromal vascular fraction is isolated, and it is then mixed with platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
The material, once prepared, is injected directly into the affected joint; ultrasound guidance 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
Follow-up visits allow the doctor to track the joint's response and fine-tune the plan. Pain tends to ease during the first month, movement improves over about three months, and the full effect builds over around six months.

After the procedure
Most people go home the same day and return to normal daily activity within a day or two; the puncture sites are covered with small dressings. During the first week the joint may ache a little more — this is an expected reaction. Over the first month the pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity improve, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts differs from person to person and depends on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — no one can promise a fixed result. The doctor gives you individual advice on exercise and load for the first weeks.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PRP and SVF?
PRP is platelet-rich plasma made from your blood; SVF is a fraction of cells isolated from a small sample of your adipose tissue. They act in different ways and are often used together for a stronger regenerative effect in the joint.
Is the treatment safe?
Rejection and allergic reactions are very unlikely because the material in both methods is your own tissue. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising are possible, as with any injection, and infection is rare. Your doctor explains the risks for your case at the consultation.
How long does the effect last?
It differs from person to person. After PRP the effect often lasts from several months to around a year, and after SVF it may last longer. How long depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so nobody can promise a fixed result.
Who should not have the procedure?
Contraindications include cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, pregnancy and a flare-up of a serious chronic illness; in these cases the procedure is not performed. The doctor checks this at the consultation.
Can hip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis) be treated without surgery?
In the early stages, PRP or SVF injections together with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can ease pain and improve movement. If the joint is already severely damaged, a replacement may be the more realistic choice — the doctor will tell you honestly once they have seen your scans.
Can avascular necrosis of the hip be treated?
SVF therapy at early stages (1–2) may be considered to support blood flow to the femoral head and push back the need for joint replacement. Later stages generally need surgery.
Why try to avoid joint replacement?
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.
Can I get a second opinion on my scans?
Yes. Your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports are reviewed by a doctor free of charge, and you will hear whether the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.
How soon can I return to normal life?
Usually in a day or two. There are no crutches and no long rehabilitation; for the first weeks the doctor gives recommendations on load and exercise.
Does the treatment help with shoulder pain?
Problems of the shoulder joint and rotator cuff are treated with PRP, and more advanced shoulder arthritis may call for SVF. It depends on the cause of your pain, which the doctor has to establish first.
