Dear patient
stem cell therapy is useful in early osteoarthritis with promising results. Patients with focal cartilage defect and early stages benefit more. Stem cell therapy is still evolving for other diseases and may be available in future for vertebral damage and foot therapy. Currently it has limited indications.
