In orthopedic stem cell treatment, the usual procedure is for the orthopedic surgeon to extract bone marrow cells, which contains stem cells, from a patient. The stems are separated using a centrifuge and then injected back into the body of the patient in the area where treatment is required. The stem cells can grow into any type of specialized cell. Thus, they can form cartilage tissue in a joint where this tissue has been depleted. Ligaments, tendons, and bone cells can all be theoretically generated using stem cells to repair those tissues that have been damaged. Thus, stem cell therapy may serve as a replacement for various types of bone, joint, and spinal surgery.

Endoscopic discectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery for treating herniated discs, which is a typical spine disorder. In herniated discs, the relatively soft inner nucleus may be pushed against the herniated wall. This can result into severe pain if the nucleus happens to push against a nearby nerve root. And because these nerves transmit signals all over the body, people with a herniated disc may feel pain in their legs, arms, and buttocks, including their neck and back. In endoscopic discectomy, the surgeon gains access to the herniated disc through a small incision in the back.

Lumbar fusion is generally used to treat degenerative disc disease. Those who have this type of degenerative disease usually suffer from pain caused by pinched nerves. This is because discs that are breaking down have little separation between the vertebrae in the spine with the result that the nerve roots located in that space are compressed, resulting into pain with varying intensity. Lumbar fusion has the goal of restoring that space by removing the damaged disc and placing two temporary spacers to realign the spine and relieve the pressure being exerted on the nerve root. These spacers will then be replaced by two metal cages that contain morselized bone graft.
