Over
a period of time, there occurred medical advancements that proved
revolutionary; stem cell therapy is one of them. The stem cell therapy is a
new alternative to traditional surgeries needed for knee replacement and to
treat tennis elbow. Usually, a knee surgery consists of arthroscopic surgery to
repair broken knees that takes several months of downtime and recovery.
Traditional
surgeries takes months time to heal knee, shoulder injuries and that too with a
peril that will never regain full use of the knee. It is seen that more than
five and half a million patients visit orthopedic surgeons each year because of
knee woes. One of the common problems related to knee injury is a torn Anterior
Cruciate Ligament (ACL) that occurs in athletes. Nearly, 250, 000 people in US
report torn or ruptured ACL problems each year. Research has shown that ACL
injuries are rising in the country owing to the changing trends in sports
activities. Knee arthroscopic surgery is a procedure performed through small
incisions to repair injuries such as ligaments, cartilage within the knee joint
area. The breakthrough stem cell treatment has outmoded the procedure of arthroscopic
surgery. At MetroMD, patients request for innovative ways to repair knee
injuries that allows them to regain movement in less downtime and at the same
time enhance their lifestyle.
