@zjaz10 if there’s damage to bone it depends on how bad. need more info
none that i’m aware of
Also what if the actual joint is damaged, not just the cartilage?
Are you aware of any clinics that do this clinic in Australia?
@tryingtosavemymom
You’re right. The media has savaged the hucksters who tout stem cell therapy for all sorts of diseases. They deserve the tongue lashing they’re getting. Stem cells are not a panacea. However, all the media trashing has obscured some really good scientific work being done. It’s still way too early to know when stem cells should be used, how they should be used, what the best techniques are and so on. That’s why the FDA hasn’t approved it..
This is all well and good, but why am I reading around the Internet that this is all a bunch of garbage and doesn’t work? If it does work, why is the FDA not approving it yet? I’ve been in so much pain for so long, and I’ve gone for all sorts of treatments with some of the standard treatments you’ve described, and nothing works. I have severe osteoarthritis and I keep praying for a cure. When will the cure come?
Probably not. PRP has its limit. I’m not sure of anyone who has experience with this particular problem.
Can PRP be used to treat an os acromiale? Would it allow the loose fragment of the acromion to fuse with the rest?
Thanks
