What is osteoarthritis
(arthrosis)?

With osteoarthritis (arthrosis), the cartilage that lines a joint gradually wears away over time. This cartilage is the joint's shock absorber, and when it is lost the bones rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness and limited mobility. The condition is degenerative, not inflammatory, although it can flare up with swelling.

It tends to strike the joints under most load: knee (gonarthrosis), hip (coxarthrosis), ankle and the small joints of the hand. The best outcomes come at early and moderate stages, before the joint surfaces suffer major damage; at an advanced stage the doctor will be straightforward about joint replacement if it is the more realistic option.

Joints we treat

Any joint, large or small — once your scans are reviewed, the doctor settles on the joint, the method and the injection count

Methods we use

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

From a small sample of your adipose tissue, the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is isolated — a set of cells involved in repairing tissue. Mixed with your own plasma, it is then injected into the joint that is affected.

The typical indication is early or moderate osteoarthritis: the aim is slower cartilage wear and less friction between the surfaces of the joint.

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

Plasma rich in platelets and growth factors is obtained from a small volume of your blood and injected into the joint, where it helps calm inflammation and improves conditions for tissue repair.

It is often applied in mild osteoarthritis, and alongside SVF when a stronger effect is called for.

How the procedure goes: step by step

Consultation and scan review

The doctor checks the joint, studies your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound and decides if this procedure fits your case. If scans are already done, send them before the visit.

Blood sample for PRP

A small amount of blood is taken from a vein. Platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is later prepared from it.
 
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.

Adipose tissue sample

Roughly 30 ml of adipose tissue is taken through a puncture on the inner thigh or abdomen under local anaesthetic. 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

Prepared material is delivered by injection straight into the affected joint, and ultrasound guidance helps with precise placement.

Follow-up

No crutches, no stay in hospital. The doctor keeps in contact after the procedure and watches how your joint responds.

Follow-up visits

At the follow-up visits the doctor reviews the joint's response and adjusts the plan. Expect pain to ease over the first month, mobility to improve over about three months and the full effect to develop over around six months.

After the procedure

Usually you leave the same day and return to everyday activity within a day or two; the puncture sites just need small dressings. The joint can ache a bit more in the first week — this reaction is expected. Pain typically eases over the first month, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long the result lasts is individual and depends on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors; a fixed result cannot be promised by anyone. A healthy weight and regular joint-friendly exercise help it last.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions

Osteoarthritis treatment in Meknes step by step

Knee and hip osteoarthritis are the most common reasons patients from Meknes consider joint replacement. SVF and PRP therapy is a way to try to delay or avoid surgery while the joint can still be preserved.

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

Leave a request, and a coordinator will contact you to arrange a free scan review. The price of osteoarthritis treatment in Meknes is explained before treatment begins.
