Biological Therapy in Orthopedics

Overview

Biological Therapy in Orthopaedics is a cutting-edge treatment approach that utilizes the body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve recovery. It is widely used for conditions such as arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament tears, and cartilage damage. This therapy helps in delaying or even avoiding the need for surgery by promoting natural regeneration.

Key Aspects of Biological Therapy in Orthopaedics:
Growth Factors & Cytokines – Naturally occurring proteins that stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections – Improve joint lubrication and reduce pain in osteoarthritis.
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) – Uses a patient’s own cultured cartilage cells to repair cartilage damage.
With Biological Therapy in Orthopaedics, patients can benefit from enhanced healing, reduced pain, improved mobility, and long-term joint preservation—a game-changer in modern orthopaedic care.
