A STEP TOWARDS NEW ERA
Orthobiologics

Our body has an impressive capacity to heal itself and return to its normal function. From a simple scrape in our skin to a perforation in the liver, our body can recuperate and restore itself to healthy functionality. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same regenerative capabilities and organ systems as an average healthy adult.
This is where regenerative therapy comes in. Regenerative therapy is a specialized approach to health care and medicine that utilizes the natural regenerative capacity of the body for healing purposes. This therapy works by stimulating cells to create new tissue and encouraging healthy cell growth in an area of injury or disease

WHICH DISEASES CAN BE TREATED WITH 
Orthobiologics

Regenerative medicine works by using the body's own cells, tissues, and biological factors to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged or diseased tissues. This can be achieved through various approaches, including stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and tissue engineering. In orthobiologics, for example, a patient's own cells and growth factors are used to promote healing and tissue repair in damaged joints, such as the knee. Orthobiologics can be used to treat degenerative conditions such as certain forms of arthritis, as well as sports injuries and traumas. Regenerative medicine may help some patients avoid orthopedic surgery completely. Conditions commonly treated with regenerative medicine include:

  • TENDONITIS AND TENDINOSIS

  • DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE IN THE SPINE

  • INTERVERTEBRAL DISC TEARS

  • FRACTURES (BROKEN BONES) THAT ARE NOT HEALING CORRECTLY

  • CARTILAGE INJURIES

  • MUSCLE STRAIN INJURIES IN ATHLETES

  • MENISCUS TEARS

  • LABRAL TEARS (TORN HIP LABRUM OR TORN SHOULDER LABRUM)

  • LIGAMENT SPRAINS OR TEARS (SUCH AS ACL TEARS OR MCL TEARS OF THE KNEE)

  • PARTIAL TENDON TEARS

  • NERVE INFLAMMATION

  • PLANTAR FASCIITIS

  • OSTEOARTHRITIS AND JOINT PAIN

HOW DOES REGENERATIVE MEDICINES WORK?

Samples of a person’s own body tissue (or, sometimes, tissue donated by another person) are collected and concentrated to produce a solution that is then injected into the patient.

The way biologics work varies with each product. In theory, biologics interact with your body's own cells and tissues to stimulate healing responses to a variety of orthopedic conditions, including in areas that tend to heal poorly on their own.

For example, platelet rich plasma (PRP) has been widely used for lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, delivering multiple healing factors (contained in the platelets) to the irritated tendons in the elbow to promote healing and decrease pain

What does scientific evidence say about the effectiveness of orthobiologic therapies?

Orthopaedic surgeons have tested the use of orthobiologics for many orthopedic problems. Preliminary results are encouraging, but rigorous testing on the effectiveness of biologics in most orthopedic conditions is lacking.

Are Orthobiologics safe?

Generally speaking, biologic materials harvested (taken) from your own body and used to treat you the same day have been felt to be safe enough to permit their use.
