2WHAT ARE CARTILAGE DEFECTS?
Have you ever experienced hitting your elbow,
knee, or other joints while playing? Did you ever
face any trauma from a bike accident injury,
slip, and fall, etc.? Usually, people ignore such
happenings considering that they would
automatically soothe. But, often, these hits
cause chronic pains. These chronic pains occur
because you may have damaged your cartilage
during the injury. This cartilage damage is known
as a cartilage defect.

3What is the proper and non-surgical treatment of
cartilage defects?
Although, medical science and experts havent
proposed any proper solution for cartilage
damage. But, recent researches in the field of
Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy have found out
that stem cells can treat all types of cartilage
damages. The Stem Cell Rejuvenation Procedure has
proved to be the worlds first and proper
treatment for cartilage damages and their
associated problems.

4Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy The Only Proper
Treatment for Cartilage Defects
Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy is the only proper
treatment for cartilage damages. It actually
treats the damaged cartilage which isnt possible
with any other method than regenerative medicine
therapy. It saves a patient from pains and
hassles of knee transplant or invasive surgery,
etc. The Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells (or, amniotic
stem cells) are highly effective and powerful to
organically treat inflammation and cartilage
damage. Thus, these stem cells restore the
cartilage damage properly and make a person
active again.

5Diagnosis Symptoms of Cartilage Defects
- The diagnosis and treatment of cartilage defects
are challenging. Articular cartilage injuries are
common and have the potential to progress to
osteoarthritis if left untreated. It isnt easy
to exactly diagnose cartilage damage however, it
can be diagnosed through various symptoms. Some
common symptoms of cartilage defects include - Joint Pain
- Joint Locking, Catching or Giving Way
- Swelling
- Stiffness

6There are mainly three different types of
cartilage present in the human body.
What is Cartilage?
- Elastic Cartilage is flexible cartilage and found
in the ears and nose. The elastic cartilage
provides firmness and elasticity and it gives
shape to the ear in the upper glass which acts as
a valve closing when youre eating, blocking any
swallowed food from entering your windpipe.
Cartilage is a firm connective tissue that is an
important structural component in the body. It
comprises cartilage cells and a matrix.
- Hyaline Cartilage is smooth yet tough, with
minimal flexibility that allows smooth joint
functioning. Hyaline cartilage is the most common
type of cartilage and it caps the bones of
synovial joints.
- Fibrocartilage is robust and flexible but not
smooth. Fibrocartilage is a tapas form of
cartilage and it is what makes up the discs of
the spine and the meniscus and the knee joint.

7Functioning of Cartilage
Cartilage has many important functions in the
body. Cartilage caps bones of synovial joints
such as the knee joint to make the movement of
the body easier by minimizing friction and help
with shock absorption. Cartilage unites the bones
of some joints such as the discs in the vertebral
column. It also provides shape to the ear and
nose and supports the trachea. Cartilage does not
have nerves or blood vessels so when it gets
injured it does not restore very well easily with
conventional treatment methods. Only regenerative
stem cell therapy can treat cartilage damage.

8Major Causes of Cartilage Defects
Cartilage defects occur due to several reasons
like age, pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, birth
abnormalities, acute injury, and knee or an
underlying disorder of the bone. Cartilage
damages are different from arthritis, and their
treatments are significantly different as well.
An isolated cartilage defect like present in
ears, without any underlying bone attached to the
fragment, is not commonly repairable. The
cartilage is often unable to survive when
detached from the bone and, therefore, must be
removed, which can be done with an arthroscopic
procedure.

9The innovation of Amniotic Fluid Stem Cell
Therapy to Treat Cartilage Damages
The amniotic fluid stem cell therapy has been
approved by the Food Drug Administration (FDA),
the United States because these cells are far
better than embryonic stem cells. The embryonic
cells have a tendency to grow wildly and they can
form tumors. The amniotic fluid stem cells do not
form tumors at all. The amniotic stem cells have
concentrated growth and anti-inflammatory
properties. They are also amino-privileged. There
can never arise any rejection or resistance to
these cells in a human body.
