@marilyncarkner I have not heard of this either but will definitely check it out if I have another knee replacement. Thanks @rainerhans for sharing this information!
Although not specifically about a total knee replacement, here are a couple of articles on the topic.

This is very interesting....I did have severe arthritis in my knee but my surgeon did not do any stem cell therapy. I wonder if something like this can be done after the fact. At one year I still experience soreness and stiffness and am so tired of this. The knee itself doesn't hurt however all the muscles around it I feel are weak and not regaining strength like I had prior. I do the exercises and stretching and by evening I hurt and am so sore.
