When the cartilage weakens

Causes and therapies for osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common joint diseases and is caused by the gradual breakdown of the protective cartilage tissue. This smooth tissue covers the ends of the bones, ensures low-friction movement and acts as a natural shock absorber. If the cartilage becomes thinner, the joint surfaces rub more against each other – resulting in pain, stiffness and limited mobility.

In principle, any joint can be affected, but osteoarthritis is particularly common in the knees, hips, hands or spine. The causes are varied: ageing processes, obesity, previous injuries, misalignments or a genetic predisposition can increase the risk. As the disease progresses, the symptoms worsen and the quality of life of those affected often decreases significantly.

The aim of any osteoarthritis treatment is to relieve pain, maintain mobility and slow down the progression of the disease. Conservative methods such as physiotherapy, targeted exercise, pain medication, weight reduction or injection therapies (e.g. hyaluronic acid or autologous blood) have proven effective here. In very advanced stages, a joint replacement (endoprosthesis) may also be necessary.

Stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis Baden-Baden

Treating joints gently with modern biology

For a long time, joint replacement (arthroplasty) was considered the only solution for advanced osteoarthritis. Today, stem cell therapy is an innovative, non-surgical procedure that can support the body’s own regeneration.

Stem cells have the ability to develop into different cell types – including cartilage-like cells. By injecting them into the affected joint, they can contribute to the regeneration of the joint lining and stabilize the remaining cartilage tissue. The aim is to slow down the progression of the disease and positively influence symptoms such as pain or stiffness.

Since only stem cells from the patient’s own body are used, the risk of rejection reactions or side effects is significantly reduced compared to procedures using foreign material.

Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that is usually performed on an outpatient basis and under local anesthesia. As a result, the stress for patients is low and they can usually resume their daily routine more quickly.

Treatment procedure

Stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis – diagnosis to follow-up treatment

The aim is to obtain stem cells from the body’s own fat cells and inject them into the affected joint in order to improve the symptoms.

First, you make an appointment at our orthopaedic private practice ortho medic Baden-Baden. During the first consultation, your medical history will be taken and a thorough examination of the affected joint will be carried out. The severity of the osteoarthritis can be determined using imaging techniques such as X-rays or MRI.

Once the decision for stem cell therapy has been made, the stem cells are harvested from the patient’s fatty tissue. The abdominal wall is locally anesthetized so that a cannula can be inserted through a tiny incision. This allows a small amount of fat cells to be harvested – around 30 ml per joint, far less than is required for most aesthetic procedures.

In order to obtain stem cells from the removed fat cells, they are centrifuged several times: the oil finally separates from the cell walls in which the stem cells and the other growth factors are located.

The prepared regeneration-promoting mixture is injected together with the body’s own plasma into the affected joint under ultrasound guidance. This allows us to inject precisely into the site of damage in order to achieve a targeted effect.

After stem cell therapy, you can usually leave the practice on your own after 30 minutes. Aftercare is very individual and will be discussed with you personally. It may include physiotherapy, movement exercises or other measures. The aim is to improve joint function and promote the regeneration of cartilage tissue.
