Some exciting new procedures for knees that involve removing cells growing them in a lab then shoving them back in your dodgy knee (as you can tell I’m no scientist) but heard the trials for this are about to get NHS backing?
It was approved for certain sites before and Southampton was one of them. It then was pulled. There is talk of this being trialed again, but it is not for everyone. Not for growing cartilage when you have arthritis. more for cartilage damage from trauma.
