First of its kind 'Bone Cell Therapy' help a 35-year-old to revive from  Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hip

Dr. Gautam Kodikal from Apollo Spectra uses the 'OSSGROW' solution to avoid hip replacement

 

Bangalore, 05 May, 2022: Apollo Spectra Hospital, in association with Regrow Biosciences, successfully conducts a 'Bone Cell Therapy' using India's first and only DCGI approved OSSGROW. The procedure is a targeted and personalized cell-based therapy to reverse the hip's AVN (Avascular Necrosis). The process was performed on a 35-year-old Brain Trauma survivor who later suffered from Avascular Necrosis and was almost bedridden.

 

Luke Mani went through a Brain Tumour surgery in 2013 and was on heavy steroids as it was a part of his medication regime. While Luke recovered very well from his Brain Tumour, after 3-4 years, he started witnessing severe pain in the lower back areas, which eventually started moving down towards his knees. Gradually the pain increased, and finally, he could not move properly, sit, perform his daily duties or even sleep. Luke then visited a local Ayurveda specialist and sought medication; however, this didn't change anything. Eventually, Luke was unable to move out of his bed correctly. Luke then decided to visit an Orthopaedic expert. The diagnosis revealed that he was suffering from Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as Bone Death of the left hip, and was in the 3rd stage of the disease.

 

After reviewing the reports, Dr. Gautam Kodikal advised him to undergo a cell base treatment since Luke was already in the 3rd stage of the disease, and a further delay would have led to only a hip replacement. Moreover, Luke was unaware of AVN as bone disease and its treatments. But, with a sense of sensitivity and an urge to spread awareness about the incurable AVN disease, also referred to as bone death, Dr. Gautam elucidated the possible causes, early signs and symptoms, and stages involved in AVN the available treatments.

 

With Dr. Gautam's guidance, Luke was admitted to the hospital, and the first part of the procedure for bone cell therapy using OSSGROW was conducted on his left hip. The bone cell therapy procedure was pain-free and straightforward, which involved extracting healthy bone cells from his bone marrow. Luke was then requested to revisit the hospital for the next part of the technique, which involved depositing the healthy laboratory-cultured bone cells back into the AVN affected hip region. Will observing a proper diet and exercise, today Luke is back on his feet without any pain and can perform all his daily duties without an issue.

 

Speaking on the successful procedure, Dr. Gautam Kodikal said, "Bone cell therapy is the best option, especially in Luke's case as he was infected by AVN and was at stage 3. The only option normally surgeons suggest at this critical juncture is a hip replacement. However, a hip replacement for a 35-year-old wouldn't have lasted him forever, and he would have to undergo revision surgery again. So we are delighted to take this procedure ahead with Luke's support."

 

"OSSGROW is India's first DCGI-approved targeted and personalized cell therapy-based solution to address AVN. The product's advantages include the formation of new & healthy bone, pain-free & cost-effective, restricted bone movements recovered, rotation and weight-bearing restored, no limping, and no use of walker or crutches. Hence, Luke recovered immediately and is back to his daily activities." Dr. Kodikal added

 

 

Speaking about his condition post-recovery, Mr. Luke said"I feel great! There is no discomfort or physical pain that I am going through. I still remember the day I was suggested to go for a total hip replacement which would not be a permeant solution after a few years. Hence, after a lot of research and exploration and consulting various Orthopaedists around my city, I came across Dr. Gautam Kodikal, who assured me and educated me on OSSGROW by Regrow Biosciences, which I appreciate for. I am so glad that I can stand on my feet without THR and back to my normal lifestyle and duties with my family. I am also grateful to Dr. Gautam for guiding me and getting me back to my day-to-day activities within a short period. I would recommend more people with AVN consider this technique is a lifesaver, affordable, and most of all, one does not have to undergo surgery."
