Meniscus Tear Stem Cell Injections in Istanbul

The imaging review, the preparation used, ultrasound guidance, whether any aspiration of fluid is needed, sedation where it applies and the rehabilitation arranged during your stay are each quoted on their own line. Our patient coordination team gives you the itemized plan in writing, with the clinical reason for every component, before travel is arranged.

Closing a tear is not what this research describes, and it is not what our medical team offers. The target is the joint environment around the tear - the inflammatory signalling and the irritated synovial lining that come with it - and the goals we write down are about joint line pain, swelling, squatting and stairs, measured with the same scores before and after. Where the tear itself is the problem, the honest answer is an arthroscopic opinion.

For some tears, clearly yes. A locked knee, a displaced bucket-handle fragment or a root tear in a knee with good cartilage are surgical questions, and our medical team will point you to an orthopedic surgeon rather than work around them. Degenerative horizontal and complex tears in a knee that is already showing wear are the pattern more often assessed here, because there the tear and the joint environment are part of the same story.

Your plan states it before you book: the assessment and the imaging review, the procedure day, the observation period afterwards, the restrictions on loading and twisting for the following days, and when our team is happy for you to fly. The rehabilitation instructions are written down and can be shared with your physiotherapist at home.

Yes. Our regenerative medicine program works with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) grown from Wharton's jelly, the gelatinous tissue inside the umbilical cord. It is donated after a healthy birth with written maternal consent, from tissue that would otherwise be discarded, so nothing is taken from mother or baby and none of the ethical questions attached to embryonic sources arise. Because these cells expand readily in culture, a batch is characterised and release-tested before it reaches anyone. Your written plan names the material, how it is prepared, the dose, the route of administration and the schedule, and our medical team explains why each of those was chosen for your case.

Wharton's jelly is a young, perinatal tissue rather than an adult one, so the starting material does not carry the age or the health history of the person being treated, and nothing has to be harvested from you on the day. These cells also have a low-immunogenicity profile, which is why this source is studied for use between unrelated people. Most of all, they are strong secretors: the signalling molecules MSCs release are the mechanism most current research centres on, and that is what a plan is built around.

The length of stay follows your plan: the route of administration, the number of sessions, the monitoring after each one, and any mobility or assistance you need. Our patient coordination team confirms appointment dates, daily timings and the expected length of the visit in writing before you book flights.

No medical procedure is free of risk. Our medical team screens for infection, bleeding risk, medication interactions and other contraindications before treatment, explains the risks specific to the route used in your plan, and monitors you during administration and afterwards. If something makes treatment unsafe for you, we say so instead of proceeding.

Goals are set with you and described as aims, not results. Regenerative medicine treatments are planned individually, responses vary between patients and no clinical outcome can be guaranteed. Your plan states what will be measured, when it will be reviewed, and how treatment sits alongside the care you already receive.

Send your confirmed diagnosis, recent reports and imaging, your current medication list, previous procedures and the goals that matter to you. Our medical team reviews them remotely and comes back with an assessment of whether treatment in Istanbul is appropriate for your case, and what the next step would be.
