Stem cell treatment for joint/hip repair for ET patients?

I wonder if anyone with ET have to face hip replacement surgery. I would rather go with stem cell treatment and appreciate if anyone can help with stem cell info for hip treatment available in UK on NHS or even private.

Hi Light,

The advice I can give you from Prof Claire Harrison is that we only do hip replacement in the UK, as far as I am aware the research into using stem cells for things other than bone marrow transplant is far behind standard care.

Not what you're looking for?
