Stem Cell & Biological Injection Therapy

Advanced regenerative therapy combining stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (biological injections) to repair damaged joint and tendon tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility — offered at three Singapore hospital locations by a specialist orthopaedic surgeon.

Ace International Orthopaedic Centre's regenerative therapy programme goes beyond PRP to offer stem cell-based biological injections as the most advanced non-surgical option for musculoskeletal repair. Stem cell therapy leverages mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — typically sourced from the patient's own bone marrow or adipose tissue, or from licensed allogenic preparations — which have the capacity to differentiate into cartilage, bone, and tendon tissue while secreting potent anti-inflammatory cytokines. When combined with PRP in a biological injection protocol, the synergistic effect amplifies tissue regeneration and pain relief beyond what either treatment achieves alone. Dr. Han Fucai, the clinic's founding consultant, oversees all regenerative procedures. His background as former Head of Sports Surgery & Medicine at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, combined with 5,000+ operations and international fellowship training, positions him as one of Singapore's most credentialed practitioners of biologic orthopaedic interventions. Conditions commonly treated include advanced knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2–3), rotator cuff partial tears, chronic tendinopathies unresponsive to physiotherapy, and hip labral degeneration. The treatment pathway typically involves an initial consultation and imaging review (X-ray, MRI where indicated), followed by a tailored biological injection protocol of 1–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Regenerative therapy is available across all three of the clinic's hospital locations in Singapore — Mount Elizabeth Novena, Farrer Park Hospital, and Parkway East Hospital — ensuring accessibility across the island.
