Stem cells are the treatment of the future for knee arthritis. So do everything you can to avoid a knee replacement now because you'll be stuck with your artificial knee.
Here's an intersting article on stem cells as an knee arthhritis cure.
Recently, the regenerative potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been under intense investigation because of their ability for self renewal and differentiation to reconstitute muscle, knee cartilage or bone.
In this study, 50 patients with mild to moderate knee arthritis were selected and divided in two groups (group A and group B). Group A received arthroscopic debridement alone and group B received buffy coat (mesenchymal stem cell concentrate) injection along with the arthroscopic debridement of the knee. On follow-up, patients were assessed on the basis of visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and osteo-arthritis outcome score, to compare results in both groups against each other to determine the efficacy of arthroscopic injection of buffy coat in the management of osteo-arthritis.
The results suggest that the stem cell technique used in the study considerably improved the overall knee arthritis outcome score, with stronger knee pain relief and especially the quality of life within the studied follow-up period and at the end of the follow-up.
