Autologous protein solution therapy for knee arthritis

Verified by: Dr. Siddhart Yadav, Consultant Orthopedics & Joint Replacement Surgery, Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai.

Autologous Protein Solution (APS) is a non-surgical treatment method for osteoarthritis in the knee, hip, elbow, or shoulder, designed to slow the progression of cartilage degradation and joint destruction. It is a form of regenerative medicine. APS is basically derived from a patient’s own blood and contains a high concentration of growth factors and cytokines, which are proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the knee joint, APS has been shown to offer several advantages over traditional therapies.

Knee arthritis is a degenerative disease that causes the cartilage in the knee joint to wear down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While there are several treatment options available, including medications, physical therapy, and surgery, there is no cure for knee arthritis. APS represents a potential new approach for managing the symptoms of knee arthritis and potentially slowing the progression of the disease.

What happens in autologous protein solution therapy?

• Autologous protein solution is produced by taking a small sample of the patient’s blood.
• It is then processed to concentrate the growth factors and cytokines present in the plasma.
• The resulting solution is then injected into the knee joint, where it can help to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and stimulate the growth of new cartilage. Because APS is derived from the patient’s own blood, there is little risk of rejection or adverse reactions, making it a safe and well-tolerated treatment option.
