What is osteoarthritis
(arthrosis)?
In this chronic disease — osteoarthritis, or arthrosis — joint cartilage is gradually worn thin. Losing the cartilage cushion lets bone rub against bone, which brings pain, stiffness and a smaller range of motion. It is classed as degenerative, not inflammatory, even though swelling may come with flare-ups.
Osteoarthritis usually develops in the most heavily loaded joints, such as the knee (gonarthrosis) and hip (coxarthrosis), and also in the ankle and small hand joints. It is treated most effectively at early and moderate stages, before the joint surfaces are badly damaged; if the stage is advanced, the doctor will honestly tell you when joint replacement is more realistic.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
First a small sample of adipose tissue is processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — cells involved in tissue repair. This fraction, combined with your plasma, is then injected into the affected joint.
Doctors use it chiefly in early and moderate osteoarthritis, aiming to slow cartilage wear and cut friction between the joint surfaces.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
We separate plasma rich in platelets and growth factors from a small blood sample and inject it into the joint. This helps quieten inflammation and supports better conditions for tissue repair.
Mild osteoarthritis is a common indication; when a stronger effect is needed, it is used together with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
First comes an examination of the joint and a look at your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound, after which the doctor decides whether the procedure suits you. Already have scans? Send them before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
A little blood is drawn from a vein; platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is prepared from it later.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
Through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh, and under local anaesthetic, about 30 ml of adipose tissue is collected. No stitches are required.
Processing in a centrifuge
In a centrifuge the sample separates into layers; the stromal vascular fraction is isolated and combined with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
Under ultrasound guidance the prepared material is injected straight into the affected joint, which helps to place it precisely.
Follow-up
No crutches are needed and there is no hospital stay. The doctor keeps in touch after the procedure to see how the joint responds.

Follow-up visits
Follow-up appointments let the doctor monitor the joint and adjust the plan. As a rule, pain eases in the first month, mobility improves over about three months and the full effect develops over around six months.

After the procedure
Going home the same day is the norm, and normal daily activity usually resumes within a day or two; small dressings cover the puncture sites. In the first week the joint may ache slightly more, which is expected. During the first month pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity improve, and around six months are needed for the full effect. Its duration differs from person to person, depending on the stage, body weight, activity and other factors, so no fixed result can be promised. Keeping weight healthy and exercising regularly in a joint-friendly way helps it last longer.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is osteoarthritis in simple terms?
This is the gradual wear of the cartilage that lines the bone ends in a joint. When cartilage thins, the joint is no longer cushioned; the bones rub, and pain, stiffness and crunching appear. The condition is degenerative and not inflammatory.
Can hip osteoarthritis be treated without surgery?
Frequently yes, if treatment is not delayed. With SVF and PRP injections the aim is pain relief and cartilage support without an operation. Joint replacement remains the last option, used when the joint is already destroyed.
How soon will I notice a result?
Many people notice early changes 2–3 weeks after the procedure, while a stable result forms over about six months and lasts from several months to several years depending on the person. Osteoarthritis is chronic, so an ongoing plan is needed rather than one injection.
At which stage does the treatment work best?
It is used at early and moderate stages; the milder the stage, the faster and more lasting the effect usually is, possibly reducing the need for regular hyaluronic acid injections. At the most advanced stage — joint space almost gone — a lasting effect is not realistic.
Which joints are most often affected?
Joints under the greatest load — knees, hips and ankles — as well as the spine and the small joints of the hand. All of these joints are treated with regenerative methods.
What happens if osteoarthritis is left untreated?
In most cases it progresses: the pain becomes constant, movement narrows, the joint may deform and walking can get difficult. A real difference comes from early diagnosis, weight control, exercise and working with a doctor.
Which tests and scans are needed?
X-ray is the main method and it shows the stage; MRI provides detail on the cartilage and soft tissues; ultrasound shows inflammation and joint fluid; blood tests help rule out inflammatory conditions. The doctor can review your existing results free of charge.
How is osteoarthritis different from arthritis?
Osteoarthritis is about cartilage wear: pain that aches on movement, crunching, stiffness after rest. Arthritis is about inflammation: pain at rest and at night, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. Because treatment is different, the diagnosis comes first.
Can I get a consultation about my case?
You can. Once you send your X-rays, MRI or test results, a doctor reviews them free of charge, assesses the osteoarthritis stage and suggests a non-surgical plan if it fits.
Can I exercise with osteoarthritis?
Yes, and you should. The right activity strengthens the muscles that unload the joint, improves cartilage nutrition and keeps you mobile. Swimming, water aerobics, cycling, Nordic walking and yoga are good choices; avoid running on hard surfaces, jumping, heavy lifting and sudden movements.

Osteoarthritis in Ahmedabad: from X-ray to follow-up
Knee and hip osteoarthritis are the most common reasons patients from Ahmedabad consider joint replacement. SVF and PRP therapy is a way to try to delay or avoid surgery while the joint can still be preserved.
Osteoarthritis is chronic, so it needs an ongoing plan rather than a single injection. In Ahmedabad, the doctor combines SVF or PRP with advice on weight, exercise and load for the joint.
Do not wait until the joint is destroyed. Book a free consultation in Ahmedabad: early and moderate osteoarthritis responds best to treatment. The price is set individually.
