What is osteoarthritis
(arthrosis)?

Arthrosis, or osteoarthritis, is chronic: the cartilage inside the joint gets thinner and gradually disappears. Without this shock-absorbing layer the bones rub together, and pain, stiffness and a narrower range of motion follow. The process is degenerative; inflammation is not its cause, although swollen flare-ups are possible.

Typically the condition affects the joints that take the most strain — the knee (gonarthrosis) and hip (coxarthrosis), plus the ankle and small joints of the hand. It is most effective to treat at early and moderate stages, while the joint surfaces are not yet badly damaged; at a late stage the doctor will tell you openly whether joint replacement makes more sense.

Joints we treat

Large or small joints: your scans come first, then the doctor decides on the joint, the method and the number of injections

Methods we use

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

The method uses the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that support tissue repair, isolated by processing a small sample of your adipose tissue. It is injected into the affected joint along with your own plasma.

Its main use is at early and moderate stages of osteoarthritis, to slow the wear of cartilage and lessen friction between the joint surfaces.

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

Your own blood, in a small amount, is processed to separate plasma rich in platelets and growth factors, which goes into the joint to calm inflammation and improve 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

After examining the joint and reviewing your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound, the doctor decides whether the procedure suits you. Scans you already have can be sent before the visit.

Blood sample for PRP

The nurse takes a little blood from a vein. Platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is prepared from this blood later.
 
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 spins the sample until it separates into layers; the isolated stromal vascular fraction is then mixed with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.

Injection into the joint

With ultrasound guiding the needle, the prepared material is injected directly into the affected joint and placed precisely.

Follow-up

Crutches and a hospital stay are not required. The doctor stays in touch after the procedure, following the joint's response.

Follow-up visits

After 1 month
3 months
6 months

The doctor uses follow-up visits to see how the joint responds and to fine-tune the plan. Typically pain eases over the first month, movement improves over about three months and the full effect builds over around six months.

After the procedure

You will most likely go home that same day and be back to normal activity within a day or two; small dressings are placed over the puncture sites. For the first week the joint may ache a little more than before, which is expected. Pain generally eases over the first month, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and the full effect takes around six months. The result lasts differently for each person, depending on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, so no fixed result can be promised. Staying at a healthy weight and exercising regularly in a joint-friendly way helps.

Treatment of osteoarthritis in Lucknow uses your own tissue: plasma from a small blood sample and the stromal vascular fraction from a small sample of adipose tissue. There is no donor or synthetic material.

Follow-up visits let the doctor see how the joint responds. In Lucknow, check-ups after one, three and six months help adjust the plan and decide whether a repeat course is needed.

Do not wait until the joint is destroyed. Book a free consultation in Lucknow: early and moderate osteoarthritis responds best to treatment. The price is set individually.
