Several studies have been carried out to treat cartilage regeneration, in this case the efficacy of the treatment presented in the regeneration of meniscus cartilage is positive, being a subject of great scientific and therapeutic interest (Regenerative Medicine Treatment).
What is meniscus cartilage?
Meniscus cartilage is a strong, but flexible tissue that acts as a cushion between the ends of the bones in a joint. (Regenerative Medicine Treatment)
The menisci are important for the stability and functionality of the knee joint, and they also absorb shocks and reduce cartilage wear. When they are broken, the knee is totally or partially blocked, with acute or subacute pain in the lateral sides of the knee.
Stem cell study:
Mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord were applied in this study, where it was implemented by percutaneous introduction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC).
The general procedure for this specialty is surgical such as arthroscopic debridement, microfracture and cartilage grafting/transplantation.
These procedures have proven to be less effective than expected, are invasive and often involve prolonged recovery time.
This is the reason why stem cell treatment has had successful factors that demonstrate its veracity in non-invasive application.
