All comparisons
- Conservative treatment or surgery — how it is decided in disc herniation, meniscus tears, osteoarthritis, stenosis
- Injections or surgery — what PRP and cell-based methods can do and where they will not help
- Joint replacement or injections — what suits which stage of knee and hip osteoarthritis
- PRP or hyaluronic acid — which injection to choose in knee osteoarthritis
- Cortisone or PRP — when cortisone is reasonable and the risks of frequent injections
- PRP, CGF, BMAC and MFAT/SVF — what they are made from, regulation and evidence
- Stem cells or PRP — what clinics call stem cells and what to check
How to use the comparisons
- Comparisons do not replace an examination: the choice depends on the diagnosis, images and your situation.
- Every comparison lists its sources: guidelines and studies from PubMed.
- If you have already been offered treatment, a comparison helps you prepare questions for your doctor.
We send your images to several partner clinics and help you compare their offers. If you have been offered surgery, see second opinion.
Frequently asked questions about choosing a method
Who chooses the treatment method?
The clinic doctor — based on diagnosis, images and examination. We help you obtain and compare opinions from several clinics.
Why is there no “best” method in the comparisons?
Because it depends on the diagnosis and stage. Where studies show a difference, we state it.
Where does the data come from?
From clinical guidelines and reviews of studies; PubMed links are on every page.
How can RegenPAS help?
RegenPAS is a patient service centre in Munich, not a clinic. We review your images and symptoms and send a request to several partner clinics at once. Clinics that can accept you send their own conditions and price; prices differ between clinics, and you choose the option that suits you. The coordinator replies within 24 hours, and a clinic physician’s preliminary opinion follows in 1–3 business days. We then arrange the appointment, visa invitation, interpreter, transfers and accommodation. Treatment decisions are made by the clinic physician. Contact a coordinator.
