Musculoskeletal Injuries (MSI) refer to damage to muscular or skeletal systems, which is usually due to strenuous activity. In other words, MSIs are any injury that affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, or tendons resulting in pain. 

The most common types of injury worldwide are MSIs because the Musculoskeletal System makes the body's framework. 

The most common causes of Musculoskeletal Injuries are:

• Aging

• Traumas include repetitive movements, postural strains, jerks, direct blows, fractures, and falls

• Pathological conditions (osteoarthritis and other immunological conditions)

• Dislocations

Is a bad hip affecting your daily activities? Hip problems can cause pain and are a common concern for many people, particularly as we get older and maintain an active lifestyle.

The specific location of hip pain can help to pinpoint the underlying cause. This can include problems in the tendons, muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues surrounding the hip joint or an issue in the lower back or spine. Hip pain can be felt in the outer hip, groin, or upper thigh.

Hip problems are usually associated with age. However, without proper care, anyone can develop a worn joint – including the hip.

The following signs are frequent early symptoms of a hip problem:

• Hip pain or growing pain

• Stiffness

• Limping

• Swelling and tenderness of the hip

Hip conditions related to musculoskeletal injuries are treated by:

• Invasive surgeries

• Joint replacement surgeries – surgeries for replacing the hip joint. Replacement of a part of the joint as acetabulum or femoral head or replacement of the whole joint. Complete hip replacement and partial hip replacement surgeries are the two most common approaches to the treatment

• Medications and drugs for pain relief and inhibiting movement restrictions as non-steroidal medicines, glucosamine chondroitin, duloxetine, and acetaminophen

• Fractures are resolved through the internal or external fixation with the POP, plates, and screws (as required)

Most of these treatment options (other than medications) require invasive procedures. 

Patients are mostly afraid of joint replacement surgeries, which are indicated for osteoarthritis-related injuries and symptoms. Stem Cell Therapy can be a great alternative to avoid replacement surgeries. Stiffness, mobility restriction, and pain are the most commonly treated symptoms with these treatment options. 

Stem Cells are the natural repair process of your body parts. SCs are present in our fat cells, bone marrow cells and in this case, we use Mesenchymal Stem Cells from donor cord blood. If you place the SCs over the area of damage, then these cells can lead to the activation of new and healthy cells. This healing process is what our body needs. Stem Cell Therapy helps boost body repair mechanisms and introduces the new Stem Cells.

Autoimmune disorders are conditions that may occur due to abnormality of the immune system. According to categories, 80 different types of autoimmune musculoskeletal conditions occur in the human body. Different conditions affect different organs, which cause the respective symptoms. Autoimmune conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, polymyalgia, and fibromyalgia. 

In the case of the hip, the most common autoimmune condition can be osteoarthritis and inflammation of the hip joint. Osteoarthritis hits humans in the mid-to-older age groups of the patients. 

Other common autoimmune conditions of the Hip include:

• Hip bursitis

• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

• Trochanteric bursitis

• Inflammation of synovium

• Tendinopathy

• Ischial bursitis

• Symphysis pubis arthritis

SCT for Hip Dysfunction and Musculoskeletal Injuries is a whole procedure.

Stem Cells are injected inside the targeted area, promoting healing and encouraging new tissue growth to control the inflammation.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells have evidence of replicating the benefits of Embryonic Stem Cells (a controversial treatment) without any ethical concerns and risks of harm. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment for Hip Injuries is a highly effective and safer domain because of its pluripotent properties. 

In osteoarthritis, MSC differentiates into the cartilage cells as chondrocytes to produce and maintain the cartilaginous matrix. Mesenchymal stem cells secrete and produce the cell function mediators like cytokines and growth factors. 

Stem Cells are injected into the hips’ iliac crest through the bone marrow source. Bone marrow is withdrawn through the needle and then isolated for growth factors and stem cells after centrifugation.

After the X-rays assisted examination and guidance, stem cells are precisely injected into the targeted area. When the newly administered stem cells replace the deficient body cells, pain symptoms tend to vanish. Stem Cell Therapy is a new and innovative emerging treatment field that can bring a breakthrough in medicine. 

Stem Cell Therapy and Exosomes provide an efficient opportunity for treating Musculoskeletal disorders, playing a vital role in the prevention and progression of different diseases. Cartilage destruction can be one of the most common results of musculoskeletal disorders.

Osteoclast differentiation and bone-forming cell proliferation is another significant result of MSCs-Exosomes Therapy. Different studies proved that Exosomes could help in protection against acute tubular injuries. These cells mediate the interaction between cells and stimulate cell proliferation to control several diseases and traumas. For instance, these cells are involved (directly) in the transfer of microRNAs to affect the signal transduction pathways into the targeted cells.

The most common harms or side-effects related to Stem Cell Therapy can be:

• Adverse treatment events such as aseptic reactions, fever, other reactions, and infections

• Adverse events related to hospitalization and hospital care

• Failure of the implantation

Most of the time, patients do not require hospitalization for the treatment. However, in case of careful observation and monitoring, patients may require hospitalization of one to two days to start the treatment. 

Risks associated with the treatment of Stem Cells Therapy are relatively very low and mild. Most of the risks are manageable through careful pre-op preparation and injection of the SCs. Infections and reactions are manageable through the use of prophylactic medicines. The implant failure ratio is greatly reduced through pre-op examination and history check. Hospital care events are also minor by choosing a more reliable facility with a good reputation in the field. 

Stem Cell Therapy has a great potential to be more effective for treating Musculoskeletal Injuries than previous methods and carries less risk. SCT has a great potential to emerge as one solution to all the human body problems, but it will need some time and patience.  

All the treatment options for Musculoskeletal Injuries have been temporary options for just treating the symptoms. With the invention of Stem Cells Replacement Therapy, hopes and prognosis of the disease treatment have been raised. It has the potential to be more effective than previous methods and also carries less risk.
