PRP, Bone Marrow Concentrate & Joint-Preserving Options

Non-replacement options for earlier arthritis and cartilage damage — injections, bone marrow concentrate and osteotomy, where they are genuinely likely to help.

Ask about thisUpload X-ray / MRI

When this is considered

  • ◆Early or moderate arthritis where the joint space is partly preserved
  • ◆Cartilage damage in a younger patient
  • ◆Early AVN of the hip before the head has collapsed
  • ◆Someone who wants to postpone or avoid joint replacement and has a realistic chance of doing so

Having one of these does not mean you need surgery. It means the problem is worth examining properly.

How it is approached

1An honest assessment of whether it will help

These treatments work best in earlier disease. In advanced grade 4 arthritis with bone rubbing on bone, they rarely give lasting relief, and you will be told that plainly rather than sold a course of injections.

2PRP and viscosupplementation

Injections that can reduce pain and improve function for a period in suitable patients. They do not regrow a worn-out joint.

3Bone marrow concentrate for AVN

Combined with core decompression in early-stage AVN, this aims to preserve the natural hip. Staging on MRI determines suitability.

4Osteotomy — realigning instead of replacing

In a younger patient with arthritis limited to one side of the knee and a bow-leg deformity, a high tibial osteotomy shifts load to the healthier side and can postpone replacement by years.

Typical recovery

Injections
Same-day procedure; rest for 24–48 hours, then gradual return to activity.
Core decompression
Protected weight bearing for a few weeks as advised.
Osteotomy
Bone healing takes around 3 months before full unrestricted activity.

Timelines are typical, not promised. Yours depends on your age, general health and how the surgery goes.

Common questions

+Can PRP cure my arthritis?

No. PRP may reduce pain and improve function for a time in earlier arthritis. It does not regrow cartilage or reverse established arthritis.

+How many injections will I need?

That depends on the product and your response. If the first course gives no benefit, repeating it endlessly is not advisable.

+Am I too young for a knee replacement?

Age alone does not decide it. In younger patients, joint-preserving options are considered first wherever the joint still allows it.

Other treatments

🦿
Robotic / Navigation Knee Replacement
Total, partial and custom knee replacement planned with computer navigation or robotic assistance, so the implant is aligned to your own anatomy.
🔁
Complex & Revision Knee Replacement
Re-doing a knee replacement that has loosened, become infected, become unstable or was not aligned correctly. This is among Dr Reddy's core areas of work.
🦴
Hip Replacement — Primary & Revision
Total hip replacement for arthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN) and fracture of the neck of femur, including revision of a previously replaced hip.
