I had an accident in 2005 August, I had a brachial plexus injury, I can't move my left hand. My left shoulder, wrist, elbow fused in CMC Vellore 10 Years ago. Any further treatment in India?
Hello Faisal, treatment depends on several factors including the severity of the injury, the type of injury, the length of time since the injury, and other existing conditions. And since you have mentioned it's been 10 years, so the reason is nerve tissue grows slowly, so it can take several years to know the full benefit of surgery.
Further, there are various surgeries we have mentioned below:
Nerve graft: In this procedure, the damaged part of the brachial plexus is removed and replaced with sections of nerves harvested from other parts of your body. This helps restore your arm's function.
Nerve transfer: When the nerve root has been torn from the spinal cord, surgeons often take a less important nerve that's still working and connect it to a nerve that's more important but not working.
Muscle transfer: Muscle transfer is a procedure in which your surgeon removes a less important muscle or tendon from another part of your body, typically the thigh, transfers it to your arm, and reconnects the nerves and blood vessels supplying the muscle.

Hope this answer helps you.

As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.

As per my understanding, you are experiencing discomfort in your waist & knee and gradual decreased sensation in your lower limbs, along with difficulty in walking as well. There are several causes which can lead to this kind of presentation. Causes generally are classified into spinal causes, traumatic causes or neuromuscular causes etc. Eg: slip disc, multiple sclerosis pinched nerve syndrome, peripheral neuropathy and many more. Treatment generally will be physiotherapy, occupational therapy, medication if required surgery but if there is weakness, difficulty in walking, or numbness, then it's a medical emergency.
