Some orthopedic problems still have no curative treatment that challenges the treating doctors all around the world. All what can offer for patients depend on postponing the surgery or modification of the symptoms. Regenerative treatment aims to regenerate and rebuild the injured tissues instead of replacing them. It depends on the using stem cells in treatment because of their characteristics of duplicating and differentiating to other tissues. From this point, sources of stem cells were investigated and researched and comparison of sources clarify that adipose derived stem cells were the most convenient and reliable source to regenerate musculoskeletal tissues, especially the cartilages and bones. Adipose derived stem cells distinguished from other sources of stem cells by its easy and relatively safe way of extraction concurrently it is the richest source according to the available high quantity of fat in adult’s body.
