Can I avoid knee replacement? What the evidence shows and what it does not

Delaying vs. replacing surgery

Total knee arthroplasty is major surgery, and highly effective when deformity and pain rule out all activity. For patients who want to keep their biological joint and whose wear still leaves joint space, the mesenchymal cell protocol aims to slow the inflammatory cascade and postpone the implant.

This is not about avoiding surgery at all costs, but about making the decision at the right moment.

A regenerative treatment succeeds when it gives you back everyday function without creating false expectations of a cure.
