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.
The joints under the heaviest load are affected most often: the knee (gonarthrosis), the hip (coxarthrosis), the ankle and the small joints of the hand. Treatment gives the best results at early and moderate stages, while the joint surfaces are still in fair condition; if the stage is advanced, the doctor will say plainly when joint replacement is the more realistic choice.

Hip
Early hip osteoarthritis, groin pain, limited rotation
Ankle

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
We take a small sample of your adipose tissue and process it to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that take part in tissue repair. It is combined with your own plasma and injected into the affected joint.
It is used mainly at early and moderate stages of osteoarthritis to slow cartilage wear and reduce friction between the joint surfaces.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Platelet- and growth-factor-rich plasma is separated from a small amount of your blood and then injected into the joint, helping to calm inflammation and create better conditions for tissue repair.
Commonly used for mild osteoarthritis — and together with SVF when you need a stronger effect.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
The doctor examines your joint, looks through your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound and decides whether the procedure is right for you. If you already have scans, you can send them ahead of the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
From a vein, a small amount of blood is taken — it will later be used to prepare platelet-rich plasma with growth factors.
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 sample goes into a centrifuge and divides into layers; the stromal vascular fraction is taken out and 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
There is no hospital stay and you will not need crutches. The doctor remains in contact after the procedure and follows the joint's response.

Follow-up visits
Follow-up visits allow the doctor to track the joint's response and adjust the plan: pain usually lessens in the first month, mobility gets better over about three months, and the full effect takes around six months.

After the procedure
Most people go home on the same day and are back to their usual daily activity within a day or two, with small dressings over the puncture sites. The joint may ache a little more during the first week — an expected reaction. Pain usually eases over the first month, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts varies between people and depends on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — nobody can promise a fixed result. A healthy weight and regular, joint-friendly exercise help the result last longer.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is osteoarthritis in simple terms?
It means gradual wear of the cartilage on the ends of the bones in a joint. With thinning cartilage the joint loses cushioning, bones rub against each other and pain, stiffness and crunching set in — a degenerative, not an inflammatory, condition.
Can hip osteoarthritis be treated without surgery?
Yes, in many cases — if you do not delay treatment. SVF and PRP injections are meant to ease pain and support the cartilage without an operation, while joint replacement is kept as the last option for a destroyed joint.
How soon will I notice a result?
Many patients see the first changes 2–3 weeks after the procedure. A stable result takes about six months to form and can last from several months to several years, depending on the person. Because osteoarthritis is chronic, it needs an ongoing plan, not a single injection.
At which stage does the treatment work best?
At early and moderate stages. The milder the stage, the quicker and more lasting the effect tends to be, and it may reduce how often hyaluronic acid injections are needed. At the most advanced stage, when the joint space has nearly gone, a lasting effect should not be expected.
Which joints are most often affected?
The joints that carry the most load: the knees, hips and ankles, as well as the small joints of the hand and the spine. Regenerative treatment is used for all of these joints.
What happens if osteoarthritis is left untreated?
Usually it gets worse — pain turns constant, movement is increasingly limited, the joint can deform and walking may become difficult. Early diagnosis, controlling weight, exercise and cooperation with a doctor make a real difference.
Which tests and scans are needed?
Mainly with an X-ray, which reveals the stage. MRI shows the cartilage and soft tissues in detail, ultrasound shows fluid and inflammation in the joint, and blood tests help rule out inflammatory conditions. If you have results already, the doctor can review them at no charge.
How is osteoarthritis different from arthritis?
Cartilage wear is osteoarthritis, marked by aching pain on movement, crunching and stiffness after rest; inflammation is arthritis, marked by pain at rest and at night, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. Since treatment differs, a 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.
