Stem Cell injections for Knee Osteoarthritis

Hannibal_12 · 2018-02-06 12:40:33

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone is aware of any Orthopaedic Surgeon in Ireland who offers stem cell therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis. I know it's offered in the UK but my mother is quite stubborn so I doubt she'd go there and has blankly refused a knee replacement. Cheers

No. It's not a clinically approved treatment for anything in Ireland (yet). Still clinical trial phase.

Mel Gibson was on JRE talking about this recently. Very interesting field right now.
Panama is the best place to go unfortunately
