Cell-based therapies
The patient's own cell concentrates in selected indications, with a clear explanation of their evidence and limits.
- What it is
- Cell-based therapies use concentrates obtained from the patient's own bone marrow or adipose tissue, which contain cells and factors able to modulate inflammation and support tissue repair. They do not replace lost cartilage or reverse advanced osteoarthritis.
- When it is indicated
- In selected indications, such as focal cartilage lesions, early osteoarthritis and some tendon injuries, usually as a complement to other treatments. The available evidence, realistic expectations and alternatives are reviewed in consultation.
- How it is performed
- The concentrate is obtained and processed in the same session and applied to the joint or the injured tissue, in the office or during surgery when combined with a cartilage procedure.
- Recovery
- It depends on whether it is applied alone or during surgery. Alone, activity resumes within a few days; combined, it follows the protocol of the main procedure.
- Procedures the doctor performs
- Bone marrow concentrate in selected indications
- Adipose-derived concentrates in selected indications
- Application associated with cartilage surgery
- Complementary biological strategies for joint and tendon injuries
