Overview:
Gangnam JS Hospital, located in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, is an orthopedic and regenerative medicine center known for advanced treatments targeting degenerative arthritis and cartilage damage. The hospital specializes in stem cell–based cartilage regeneration, with a focus on reducing pain and restoring joint function without relying solely on artificial joint replacement.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy for Degenerative Arthritis?

• Purpose: Designed to help patients with osteoarthritis and chronic joint degeneration by stimulating cartilage repair, reducing inflammation, and improving joint mobility through regenerative cellular therapy rather than traditional joint replacement.
• Approach: The hospital uses cord blood–derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) for cartilage regeneration and joint restoration. These stem cells are implanted or injected directly into damaged areas to support tissue healing and delay surgical replacement in suitable cases.

Treatment Features at Gangnam JS Hospital

Stem Cell Cartilage Regeneration

• Cord Blood Stem Cell Transplantation: Utilizes umbilical cord blood–derived stem cells to encourage cartilage repair in knees affected by osteoarthritis and similar degenerative conditions.
• Minimally Invasive: The regenerative procedure aims to avoid major artificial implants and focuses on natural tissue restoration.
• Clinical Experience: The hospital reports extensive experience with stem cell procedures, having performed thousands of stem cell surgeries and published research in peer-reviewed journals related to cartilage regeneration.

Degenerative Arthritis Care

• Beyond Pain Relief: Therapy may help with both pain management and functional improvement in patients with moderate to advanced degenerative arthritis.
• Multilingual Service: English, Chinese, Arabic, and Mongolian interpretation services are available for international patients.

Typical Patient Journey

1. Assessment & Imaging: Detailed diagnosis including imaging to assess cartilage damage and joint condition.
2. Personalized Plan: Tailored regenerative therapy planning by orthopedic specialists.
3. Stem Cell Procedure: Injection or implantation of stem cells under image guidance.
4. Rehabilitation Guidance: Post-procedure recommendations to support recovery and joint health.

Note: Results vary by individual condition, age, and severity of cartilage damage.
