Yes, in addition to standard rehabilitation, many athletes are interested in stem cell therapy, which can stimulate natural tissue repair processes. There is a purely practical description of this approach specifically in a sports context: https://ways2well.com/blog/stem-cell-therapy-for-rock-climbing-injuries-boost-sports-recovery . It explains how cells can help restore cartilage and tendons and reduce inflammation, which is important after meniscectomy or similar operations. This helps speed up recovery and can reduce the risk of re-injury. However, such therapy should be discussed with an orthopedist and physical therapist to avoid harm.
