Cell Therapy for Joints in Sanaa

Your blood gives PRP, a platelet-rich plasma, and a small sample of adipose tissue gives SVF, a fraction of cells. Their actions differ, which is why they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect in the joint.

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.

It depends. PRP usually gives an effect lasting from several months to about a year; with SVF it can last longer. Because the stage of the condition and your body affect the duration, no one can promise a fixed result.

It is not done during pregnancy, in people with cancer, acute infections or blood clotting disorders, or while a serious chronic illness is flaring up. The consultation is where the doctor checks this.

At an early stage, combining PRP or SVF injections with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can reduce pain and help movement. When the joint is already badly damaged, replacement may be more realistic, and the doctor will say so honestly after seeing your scans.

For early stages (1–2), SVF therapy may be considered: it supports blood supply to the femoral head and can delay the need for a joint replacement. Surgery is usually required later on.

A replacement is major surgery: rehabilitation is long, there are risks such as infection, and the implant may eventually need redoing. If changes are early or moderate, it often makes sense to try saving your own joint first.

Yes. Send your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, and a doctor will review them free of charge and tell you whether the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.

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.

For shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems PRP is used, and for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder SVF may be considered. Suitability depends on the cause of your pain, and the doctor identifies that first.
