https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis affects the entire joint, including the tissues around it. It is most common in the knees, hips, spine and hands.
Many factors can contribute to developing osteoarthritis. Some include a history of joint injury or overuse, older age and being overweight. It affects women more than men.
Exercise and healthy eating to build strong muscles and keep a healthy weight can reduce symptoms. Surgery to replace joints is used in severe cases to reduce pain and regain mobility.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where cartilage breaks down, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. It's the most common form of arthritis, particularly affecting older adults, though it can occur at any age. While there's no cure, symptoms can be managed through medication, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

Exercise and healthy eating to build strong muscles and keep a healthy weight can reduce symptoms. Surgery to replace joints is used in severe cases to reduce pain and regain mobility.
Arthritis treatment focuses on managing pain and inflammation, improving joint function, and slowing the progression of the disease. This can involve a combination of lifestyle modifications, medications, and, in some cases, surgery.
Stem cell treatments are a promising area of research for osteoarthritis, but they are not yet a standard treatment. These treatments involve injecting stem cells, often derived from the patient's own fat or bone marrow, into the affected joint. The hope is that these stem cells can help repair damaged cartilage, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.

Mayo Clinic Q and A: Stem cell therapy for arthritis - Mayo ...
Stem cell treatments for arthritis are still under research and development, with limited evidence of their effectiveness in repairing damaged tissues. While some studies suggest potential benefits in pain relief and improved function, the ability to cure arthritis entirely is not yet available, and the exact mechanisms of action are not fully understood. Stem cell therapy is not a standard treatment for arthritis, and its use should be approached with caution, especially outside of regulated clinical trials.
Elaboration:
Not a Cured Treatment:
Stem cell therapy is not currently considered a cure for arthritis. It is primarily being investigated for its potential to manage symptoms like pain and improve joint function.
Focus on Pain Relief and Function:
Early studies have shown promise in reducing pain and improving function in some individuals, particularly those with osteoarthritis.
Limited Evidence for Cartilage Repair:
While some research suggests potential for cartilage regeneration, the evidence is still limited, and the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
Safety and Efficacy Concerns:
The safety and efficacy of stem cell treatments for arthritis are still under investigation. There are concerns about the potential for adverse effects, especially when treatments are offered outside of regulated clinical trials.
Not a Standard Treatment:
Health Canada and other regulatory bodies do not currently approve stem cell treatments for arthritis, except when they are part of an approved research study.
Variety of Procedures:
Stem cell treatments can involve various procedures, including injecting stem cells directly into the joint, using them in conjunction with other surgical procedures, or delivering them with specialized hydrogels or scaffolds.
Cost:
Stem cell therapy can be expensive, with costs ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.
Considerations for Patients:
Patients considering stem cell therapy for arthritis should consult with their physicians and be aware of the potential risks, benefits, and limitations of the treatment.
Ongoing Research:
Research into stem cell therapy for arthritis is ongoing, and new findings may emerge over time.

Stem cells are not an approved treatment for osteoarthritis in Canada. Treating osteoarthritis with stem cells is still experimental and is being studied.
https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Alberta/Pages/stem-cell-treatment-for-osteoarthritis.aspx
Stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are immature cells that can divide and change into different types of mature cells with different jobs.
There are 3 main types of stem cells:
Adult stem cells are found in bone marrow, fat, blood, joints, and many other tissues. These stem cells are also called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
Induced adult stem cells are made from skin cells to become adult stem cells.
Embryonic stem cells are found in embryos. These are not used in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Can stem cells treat osteoarthritis?
Stem cells are not an approved treatment for osteoarthritis in Canada. Treating osteoarthritis with stem cells is still experimental and is being studied.
In Alberta, using stem cells to treat osteoarthritis only happens in research studies.
More research is needed before stem cells can become a standard treatment for osteoarthritis. Researchers are studying stem cells to find out:
How they can use them.
How well they treat osteoarthritis.
When to best use them for osteoarthritis.
If they might be a better treatment for some people than others.
How does the treatment work?
Most stem cells used for experimental osteoarthritis treatment are adult MSCs. Researchers can easily collect them from a person's fat or bone marrow.
MSCs are being studied because they can turn into cartilage, bone, muscle, tendon, ligaments, or fat, depending on the type of tissue that surrounds them.
Research shows that MSCs release anti-inflammatory factors that help heal and lessen pain. When they are injected into a joint, some studies show they may help relieve pain, swelling, and loss of movement.
Stem cells can also be used to make an artificial tissue in a laboratory. This lab-made tissue can then be put into a joint to help repair damaged bone, ligaments, and cartilage.
Is it safe?
The safety of stem cell treatment depends a lot on how the stem cells are prepared and where the procedure is done. (It must happen in a very clean and sterile place.)
Most stem cell treatments use a person’s own MSCs from their bone marrow or fat. Research shows these treatments are very safe for osteoarthritis.
Some stem cell treatments use stem cells donated from other people’s tissues. The possible risks of using donor sterm cells include:
developing an infectious disease
having an immune reaction where your body attacks the donor cells
If you decide to have a stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis, you will need follow-up to watch for unwanted side effects.
Does it work?
Research so far doesn’t show that a stem cell treatment alone cures osteoarthritis.
It also doesn't show that the treatment can rebuild a damaged joint in people who have been living with osteoarthritis for a while or who have advanced osteoarthritis.
Some tissue-engineering studies are showing that cartilage can be repaired if the damage is treated early.
People respond differently to this treatment. Some people have had long-term pain relief that lasts more than a year. Other people have not had any less pain.
More research is needed to know if stem cell treatment works well for osteoarthritis and why it works better for some people than others.
Is it available in Alberta?
Stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis is not available in Alberta.
You may see clinics in the United States, Mexico, or other countries that advertise stem cell treatments to Canadians, but you will need to pay all the costs yourself.
At this time, the Alberta Health Services Bone and Joint Health Strategic Clinical Network does not endorse any of these clinics.
What should I know before having this treatment outside of Alberta?
If you’re thinking about having stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis outside of Alberta, here is what you need to know:
Stem cells treatment for osteoarthritis is still being studied. It’s an experimental treatment.
Health Canada doesn’t allow clinics and providers in Canada to offer a stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis, unless it’s part of an approved research study.
Guidelines for clinics and providers outside of Canada may have different standards than those in Canada.
There is no strong evidence that stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis can repair damaged tissues, but it may help with pain.
Are there similar treatments?
Treatments called “regenerative therapies” are sometimes called stem cell treatments. But these treatments, including platelet rich plasma (PRP). don't use stem cells. It’s more correct to call this type of treatment a “cell therapy,” because it uses a type of blood cell called a platelet.
Some treatments also use materials shed from adult stem cells, but these are also experimental.
What questions should I ask about stem cell treatment?
If you are thinking about stem cell treatments for osteoarthritis outside of Alberta, ask the provider or clinic these questions to learn about safety and quality:
Am I a good candidate for stem cell treatment and why?
Do you belong to a regulatory body, such as a college of physicians and surgeons?
Do you have proper training and certification in stem cell treatments for osteoarthritis?
What stem cells will you use for my treatment? Are they from fat or bone marrow or some other source?
Do you plan to use my stem cells or someone else’s stem cells?
Will you inject anything else along with the stem cells?
How much does the treatment cost? What does the cost include?
What are the payment options?
Does private or public health insurance cover any of the costs?
Do you also collect and prepare (process) the stem cells?
Where are the stem cells prepared before they are used in the treatment? Do you have equipment at the clinic to do this?
What are the possible risks or side effects of the treatment?
Are you able to handle any problems or emergencies that may happen during the treatment?
How many stem cell treatments have you done for osteoarthritis?
How many people at the clinic have had problems after treatment?
How many people didn’t respond to the treatment?
What can I expect in the days and weeks after the treatment?
What is the follow-up after the treatment?
Do you collect my data to track results?
