Q: Dear Doctor Volpi, I have a cartilage problem in my right knee. Can stem cells be used to rebuild the cartilage?
A: Dear user, you can use a technique that involves the use of autologous mesenchymal stem cells, which are cells that are taken from other patient. It is used only in particular cases where an injury is greater than 2cm, involves traumatic genesis, and the patient is under the age of 45 years old. However, this new technique requires strict observation over time in order to validate its real effectiveness. Best regards.
