OrthoBiologics & Regenerative Medicine
OrthoBiologics and Regenerative Medicine use the body's own healing cells and growth factors to reduce pain, promote tissue repair and improve recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and early arthritis. These treatments aim to preserve joints, delay surgery and help patients return to active lifestyles.
What are OrthoBiologics?
OrthoBiologics are treatments derived from the patient's own body and may include:
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
- Stem Cell Therapies
- Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation)
- Cartilage Restoration Procedures
These treatments contain growth factors and regenerative cells that support healing and reduce inflammation.
Common Conditions Treated
Arthritis
Early knee arthritis · Shoulder arthritis · Ankle arthritis
Tendon Problems
Tennis elbow · Golfer's elbow · Rotator cuff tendinitis · Achilles tendinitis · Plantar fasciitis
Sports Injuries
Ligament injuries · Muscle strains and tears · Cartilage injuries
Joint Preservation
Early cartilage damage · Selected cases of Avascular Necrosis (AVN) · Delayed healing injuries
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP is prepared from the patient's own blood and contains a high concentration of healing growth factors. These growth factors help:
- Reduce pain
- Decrease inflammation
- Promote tissue healing
- Improve function and recovery
PRP injections are commonly used for tendon injuries, early arthritis and selected sports injuries. Most treatments are performed as outpatient procedures.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
BMAC uses specialised regenerative cells obtained from the patient's own bone marrow. These cells may assist in tissue repair and regeneration and are used in selected cases involving:
- Cartilage injuries
- Early arthritis
- Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
- Bone healing problems
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
These injections improve joint lubrication and reduce friction within arthritic joints. They are particularly useful for:
- Early knee arthritis
- Mild to moderate osteoarthritis
- Patients wishing to delay surgery
Pain relief may last for several months (6–12 months or more) in suitable patients.
Advantages of Regenerative Medicine
- Minimally invasive treatment
- Uses the patient's own healing potential
- May reduce pain and inflammation
- Helps preserve joints
- Short recovery period
- May delay the need for surgery in selected patients
Is Regenerative Medicine Right for You?
Not every patient is a suitable candidate for regenerative therapies. The best results are typically seen in:
- Early arthritis
- Tendon injuries
- Sports injuries
- Younger active patients
- Patients seeking joint preservation options
A detailed clinical assessment and imaging studies help determine the most appropriate treatment option.
