STEM Cell Exosomes in Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement Surgeries

Stem cell exosomes are microscopic messengers that deliver proteins, enzymes, and other substances to guide healing and decrease inflammation. Because of these positive effects, many surgeons, including Dr. Kapp, use them as an adjunct to their surgery to improve healing and outcomes. It is important to note that, although they are considered safe, stem cell exosomes are not FDA-approved and are not covered by insurance companies. Dr. Kapp has seen very positive effects of stem cell exosomes with total hip and knee replacement and revisions, and he highly recommends their use. It is optional for patients and not required.
