Stem Cell Therapy for Ligament Repair in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Ligament injuries can cause instability, pain, and long recovery times. At Nanoori Stem Cell Center in Gangnam, Seoul, our orthopedic specialists use stem cell–assisted regenerative therapy to support ligament healing, restore stability, and help patients return to activity safely.

Who This Is For

  • Partial ligament tears (e.g., ACL, MCL, LCL, ankle ligaments, wrist ligaments)
  • Chronic ligament laxity after repeated sprains or injuries
  • Sports injuries with persistent joint instability
  • Patients looking to avoid or delay reconstructive surgery where possible

Why Choose Stem Cell Therapy for Ligament Injuries

  • Helps stimulate tissue repair and collagen regeneration
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling at the injury site
  • May shorten recovery time when combined with rehab
  • Supports joint stability and function for sports or daily movement

How Treatment Works

  1. Evaluation & Imaging – MRI or ultrasound to confirm the ligament injury.
  2. Harvest & Preparation – Patient’s own stem cells (bone marrow or adipose) are collected and processed.
  3. Targeted Injection – Image-guided injection into the injured ligament for precise delivery.
  4. Rehabilitation & Strengthening – Structured physiotherapy to restore stability and prevent re-injury.

Recovery Timeline

  • Weeks 0–2: Soreness resolves, gentle mobility work begins
  • Weeks 3–6: Ligament loading with supervised rehab
  • Months 2–4: Strength and stability improvements
  • 6+ months: Return to full sport or demanding activity depending on injury severity

Safety & Considerations

  • Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime
  • Not suitable for complete ligament ruptures that require surgery
  • Temporary soreness at the injection site is common
  • All procedures are doctor-supervised in a hospital setting

FAQ

Can stem cells repair a completely torn ligament?
No. Complete ruptures usually require surgery. Stem cell therapy is most effective for partial tears and chronic sprains.

Will I still need surgery later?
Some patients avoid surgery altogether, while others may delay it. Your outcome depends on injury severity and rehab adherence.

When can I return to sports?
Light training may resume after 2–3 months; full return is usually after 6 months or more depending on progress.
