| 1 | Hospital for Special Surgery | Regenerative Medicine for Muscle, Bone and Joint Health (HSS) | 38724 | 109 | 53.7 | 2:49 | Regenative medicine uses biologic therapies, which is a type of treatment that uses samples of person's own body or donated tissue to treat injury and disease. And these therapies can be used to improve symptoms and the treatment of certain conditions by enhancing the healing of muscle, bone, and joint tissues in the body. Now while we can't always reverse a condition completely, Regentive Medicine or Biologic Therapies can significantly improve the pain, the function, and sometimes may even help to avoid or postpone orthopedic surgery in patients that are the right fit for these kinds of therapies. These therapies often work through an anti-inflammatory effect. This means that they contain proteins and molecules that may have the ability to reduce inflammation in the body, which is often the cause of pain and discomfort for our patients. Two commonly used types of biologic therapies used in orthopedics are Plagelyrich Plasma or PRP and Cell-Based Therapies. PRP works by using a person's own blood and preparing a concentrated mixture, high in playlets, which are tiny cells that carry proteins called growth factors that help prepare damaged tissue. This mixture is then injected into the side of injury and PRP is currently offered for treatment here at HSS. Cell-based therapies involve the injection of living cells, usually coming from a person's own tissues. They are becoming increasingly popular in orthopedics. The two most common types use either bone marrow or fat tissue from the patient. Conditions commonly treated with these therapies include, Ophdarthritis and joint pain, Meniscus tears in the knee, Cardid genders, ligament sprains and tears, Candanitis and Tendinosis, and Label tears in the shoulder or hip. Because every patient's body is different, the use of a genitive medicine with therapies used in the patient's own tissue can have different effects on how the patient's body responds. In fact, studies are currently ongoing to determine how successful, regenerative medicine treatments are for a specific condition and a specific patient. All it is too soon to know. Research we are doing here at HSS suggested these therapies might not truly regenerate tissue, but rather they help in improving symptoms and inflammation processes. They may also help by delaying or even preventing some surgeries. There's now some emerging data to suggest that these biologic therapies can stimulate the body's own healing response. Regentive medicine is an ongoing treatment and may be considered a treatment option depending on the patient and their condition. Speak with your physician. We will evaluate your symptoms and medical history to see if Regentive Medicine is right for you. | ↗ |
