Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest, in early stages Stiffness after sitting or sleeping, that eases with movement Swelling around the knee joint A grinding or catching sensation during movement Reduced ability to fully bend or straighten the knee
How Dr. AKM Mohiuddin Treats Knee Osteoarthritis
Dr. Mohiuddin treats knee osteoarthritis with two main approaches, PRP therapy and stem cell therapy, chosen based on how advanced the condition is and the patient's overall health.
His primary PRP technique is PA-PRP, which he was specifically trained in, in Australia and Thailand. For more advanced cases, he uses stem cell therapy, including SVF and X-Cell protocols, to support joint tissue repair.
Research Behind This Treatment
Dr. Mohiuddin has published two peer-reviewed studies specifically on knee osteoarthritis treatment, which is not common among orthopedic doctors in Dhaka.
His 2018 study, published in Rheumatology and Orthopedic Medicine, evaluated PA-PRP in 232 patients with knee osteoarthritis, using the WOMAC scoring system to measure outcomes.
His 2024 study, published in the Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, was a two-year retrospective study of 100 knee osteoarthritis patients treated with stem cell therapy at Surecell Medical BD Ltd.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment starts with a clinical assessment, including a physical examination and a review of X-rays or MRI to confirm the stage of osteoarthritis.
Based on this assessment, Dr. Mohiuddin discusses whether PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, or a combination fits your case, then walks through the treatment plan, expected recovery, and follow-up schedule.
Is Treatment Right for You?
Treatment suitability depends on how advanced your osteoarthritis is, your overall health, and whether you have tried other treatments already. Early-stage osteoarthritis often responds well to PRP therapy, while more advanced cases may need stem cell therapy or a combined approach.
Not every patient is a candidate, and outcomes vary by patient and condition. A consultation is the only way to know which option applies to you.
