The number and timing of stem cell treatments for orthopedic and traumatology patients are customized based on individual patient needs. Treatment outcomes may also vary significantly depending on patient-specific factors and the condition's status.

In orthopedic conditions, stem cells are obtained from either adipose (fat) tissue or bone marrow through a specialized extraction procedure. The meticulousness and chosen method of these extraction procedures are critical for ensuring optimal stem cell viability and quality. To prevent the transmission of potential diseases or the transfer of unwanted cells, all stem cell acquisition and processing steps, including any subsequent cell culture, must be carried out under stringent, specialized laboratory conditions.

Stem cells are typically administered via injection. However, surgical application methods are also available. Depending on the specific stem cell treatment to be applied, patients receive either local or general anesthesia.

In surgically applied stem cell therapies, the harvested stem cells are often placed onto scaffold-like carriers, known as matrices. These matrices are then carefully positioned in the damaged area where regeneration is desired. Through this method, the goal is for stem cells to differentiate into cartilage-like or other desired tissue structures over time.
