Stem cell therapy can cure bone and joint diseases: Dr Vivek Kumar David

 

Ranchi: Dr. Vivek David, orthopedic surgeon at Paras Hospital Dhurva, while explaining the benefits of stem cell therapy, said that stem cell therapy can also benefit those who have conditions such as avascular necrosis of the hip, cartilage wear, and non-healing of fractures. Stem cells are being studied for the treatment of avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and other conditions. Stem cells are the only cells in the body that can form different types of cells such as blood, bone, and muscle. They also repair damaged tissue. Stem cells can develop into different types of cells, which help repair damaged tissue. Stem cell therapy is also called regenerative medicine.

          Dr. Vivek Kumar David said that many stem cell therapy procedures are less invasive than traditional surgery, which reduces recovery time and also reduces complications. Patients often experience a reduction in pain, which improves their quality of life. Major surgery can be avoided. Using the patient's own stem cells reduces the risk of rejection, which leads to faster response to treatment.

          Stem cell therapy offers promising benefits for improving health outcomes in a variety of conditions. Stem cell therapy helps to naturally heal the root cause of the problem and repair damaged tissue. In this procedure, stem cells (osteoblasts) are extracted from the patient's own body and implanted into the affected hip joint. The aim of this approach is to regenerate damaged bone tissue and restore normal functionality, thereby delaying or avoiding the need for hip replacement surgery.

             Avascular necrosis occurs when blood flow to the hip bone is disrupted, resulting in the death of bone tissue. It can occur for a variety of reasons, including trauma, certain diseases, and long-term use of corticosteroids. Traditional treatments are often limited, making this cutting-edge procedure especially important. Manas Labh, Marketing Head, Paras Hospitals said that the facility of stem cell therapy has started in Paras Hospital Dhurva. Patients are taking advantage of it.
