Certain injuries can cause important damage to the articular cartilage, this type of injuries usually lead to arthritic changes. Studies reveal that Bone marrow obtained by Mesenchymal cells present favorable outcomes in patients that sustain articular cartilage damage in comparison with those patients treated by other techniques.

When bone structure integrity is compromised by trauma or other orthopedic conditions this can lead to extensive bone loss. Usually bone replacements or bone substitutes are enough to restore bone structure. Studies have shown that Mesenchymal cells can repair bone conditions caused by injury, infection or tumor.

Bone Marrow Transplants require diagnosis and take into consideration several factors like stage and condition of disease, age and health.

There are different types of transplants regarding Bone Marrow:

• Autologous – this type of transplant uses your own healthy bone marrow cells
• Allogeneic – Related or unrelated donors provide healthy bone marrow cells
• Haploidentical – Healthy bone marrow cells are from half-matched donors

Using autografts, allografts on ligaments and tendons as way to treat defects and injuries can result in tissue rejection, scars. Studies have revealed that Mesenchymal stem cells can repair ligaments and tendons with very favorable results in biomechanical properties.

Injuries in meniscus carry little potential for repair. Removing part the meniscus or damaged parts have shown some correlation with developing osteoarthritis shown to have a strong association with subsequent development of osteoarthritis. Findings from recent studies show Mesenchymal stem cells promote adequate healing in meniscal tears.

Intervertebral Disk disease causes disc degeneration producing chronic back pain. Conventional techniques are usually used treat this injuries. If conventional options are not effective, surgical options are usually invansive and limited. Cell-based tissue treatments which include Mesenchymal stem cells injections show a lower occurrence of back pain.

Conventional techniques to treat Osteonecrosis have limited results in arthritic joints.
Patients show improvement when treated with Mesenchymal stem cells.
