Direct Injection: Stem cells can be injected directly into joints, tendons, or nerves to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Application During Procedures: Stem cells can be applied precisely on damaged tissues, such as osteochondral defects, ligaments, or nerves, during minimally invasive surgeries using arthroscopic or direct vision techniques.
Ligament Repair: Restores stability and function to joints affected by ligament damage. Osteochondral Defect Corrections: Repairs cartilage and subchondral bone to improve joint function. Ligament Lengthening: Addresses tight or contracted ligaments to enhance range of motion.
