Orthobiologics/Stem Cell Therapy
Biomaterials utilized in the regeneration and repair of diseases affecting bone and surrounding soft tissue are known as orthobiologics. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, and other growth factors are among the therapies that can be injected, implanted, or given to the patient to enhance the wounded musculoskeletal tissue’s natural healing capability. These therapies also aim to reduce inflammation and boost recovery. In addition to being a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, these “natural” treatments are appealing to patients and surgeons alike since they can be utilized alone or in combination with more conventional surgical techniques for augmentation.
By altering the biological environment at a site of injury or degeneration, orthobiologic therapies aim to either lessen pain and inflammation or accelerate healing in musculoskeletal tissues.
With his advanced training in robotic-assisted treatments, Dr. V. Rajkumar is able to provide patients with the benefits of this advanced technology for their knee replacement surgeries. Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is a major improvement in orthopedic therapy that offers patients more treatment options and better results.
Typical orthobiologic treatments:
Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP)
ACP therapy, or autologous conditioned plasma, is a potentially effective therapeutic approach that enhances the body's own healing components. This therapy is effective for a large number of injuries, degenerative diseases, and accelerated healing following surgery. Centrifugation is used to remove growth/healing factors from a patient after a tiny amount of blood is removed. The process of regeneration and healing is then aided by injecting the fresh solution into the patient's treatment area.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP):
Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) and Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) therapy are quite similar; however, the PRP solution contains healing elements at a concentration that is about ten times higher. Red, white, and platelets are among the tiny solid components found in blood, although plasma makes up the majority of it. An enormous number of proteins known as growth factors are found in platelets and are crucial for the healing of wounds.
Stem Cell Therapy (BMAC Procedure)
In the bone marrow, the human body continuously produces stem cells. The body distributes these cells to various parts where they are required for specific ailments and wounds. Found in the bone marrow of bones like the pelvis, stem cells are immature, underdeveloped cells. Stem cell therapies have been shown to promote the development of new tissue and aid in the healing of injured tissues. This is often referred to as “regenerative therapy.”. The most common source of stem cells is the pelvic iliac crest bone because of the abundance of stem cells in this location. Patients usually experience minimal pain during the surgery, which involves making a tiny 2 mm incision and administering local anesthetics (numbing medicine). While the placenta and umbilical cord can yield stem cells, obtaining cells from other people carries additional risks, such as the potential for disease transfer or unexpected and unwanted tissue growth. For these reasons, the bone marrow aspiration from the iliac crest, sometimes referred to as the bone marrow aspirate concentrate treatment, is used in the vast majority of stem cell surgeries for orthopedic purposes.
Advantages
A robotic system provides highly accurate guidance to the physician.
Pain Reduction:
By encouraging joint repair and lowering inflammation, PRP and stem cell treatments can both aid in pain reduction.
Improved Function:
By restoring damaged cartilage and other joint tissues, these therapies may increase joint mobility and function.
Delaying the Progression of the Disease:
These treatments may delay the onset of arthritis by encouraging tissue repair and lowering inflammation.
Conclusion
Orthobiologics and stem cell therapy represent promising options for managing joint arthritis, especially for patients who haven’t responded well to traditional treatments. However, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best approach based on individual needs and the specific characteristics of the arthritis.
