Degenerative Knee Joint Disease

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a disease caused by aging, weight gain, or excessive exercise, leading to cartilage wear and bone deformity in the knee joint. The main symptoms include knee pain, stiffness, and deformity. As the condition progresses, it may result in difficulty walking or limitations in daily activities.
Although treatments like hyaluronic acid injections are common, fundamental treatment options have been lacking aside from surgery. Nowadays, injecting stem cells into the knee joint holds promise for cartilage regeneration and improvement of pain and inflammation. Therefore, stem cell-based regenerative medicine is gaining widespread attention.
