Core Decompression with Stem Cells

Definition

Core decompression with stem cells is a medical treatment that involves drilling a small hole into the bone to relieve pressure and promote healing, followed by the injection of stem cells to stimulate bone and cartilage regeneration. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions like avascular necrosis, where the blood supply to a bone is disrupted, leading to bone death.
