Stem Cell Cartilage Repair recovery timeline: what to expect week by week
You can usually fly home 2–5 days after treatment, with your surgeon’s approval and after a wound check. Desk work may be possible in 2–7 days, while physical jobs usually need 4–12 weeks. Low-impact activity may resume around 6–8 weeks, while running may wait 4–6 months and requires clearance. Final results may take 6–12 months, with pain and function improving gradually and cartilage changes varying between patients.
Days 1–7
After a wound check, you can usually fly home 2–5 days after treatment with your surgeon’s approval. Move your leg during the flight and follow clinic advice on clot prevention. Rest, elevate, and ice your knee, and use crutches or partial weight bearing as advised.
Weeks 2–6
Guided physiotherapy helps restore motion and build strength gradually. A physiotherapy review is usually scheduled during this period and can be local. Avoid impact sports, deep squats, and twisting.
Weeks 6–12
Build strength progressively and add low-impact cardio, but avoid running and contact sports. A function and pain review is usually scheduled around 90–120 days, remotely or in person.
Months 4–12
You may return to sport if cleared, while pain and function can continue to improve gradually. Return to impact sports only after clinical clearance. Outcome scores are reviewed, and the clinic may advise a repeat knee MRI.
When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic for fever or chills, drainage from the incision, or pain that medicine does not relieve. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.

If you're considering this procedure, my main advice would be to research the specific doctor because while the clinic staff themselves were fantastic, my experience with the surgeon was a letdown. The facility was good and there were no additional expenses on top of what I paid. No surprises there. However, I felt the doctor was not accommodating and was showing not very concerned. The treatment consisted of multiple injections in one visit, but it’s still too early to tell about the outcome, and I don't know what type of stem cells were used. There has been little contact since I left. Ultimately, I would advise a future patient to avoid the same doctor who attended on me.
Coordinator stayed in touch
The Doctor was not very convincing and was very commercial minded, wanting to sell medicine. His English is not good, very difficult to understand. Very discouraging.
