Knee BMC is a treatment in which the patient's own bone marrow is transplanted into the joint
to improve joint function and help cartilage regenerate. It is a stem cell treatment
recognized as a new health technology by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and it has been evaluated
as a safe and effective technique for relieving knee joint pain and improving function.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare recently designated the technique of injecting autologous bone marrow into the knee joint to relieve and improve knee joint pain as a new health technology. Its official name is "Intra-articular injection of bone marrow aspirate concentrate for knee osteoarthritis." Bone marrow taken from the patient's body is centrifuged into concentrated bone marrow stem cells, which are then injected directly into the knee.
