Orthobiologics Hip
- PRP
- Stem Cell Therapy
- BMAC
- Viscosupplementation
Orthobiologics in hip procedures involve using biological substances to enhance healing and tissue regeneration. Here are some common procedures:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection:
PRP involves injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets into the hip joint to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy involves harvesting mesenchymal stem cells from the patient’s bone marrow or adipose tissue, concentrating them, and then injecting them into the hip joint to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.
Bone Marrow Aspiration Concentrate (BMAC) Injection
BMAC involves aspirating bone marrow from the patient’s pelvis, concentrating it to isolate the regenerative cells, growth factors, and cytokines, and then injecting it into the hip joint to aid in tissue repair and regeneration.
Viscosupplementation
This involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the hip joint to improve lubrication and reduce pain in patients with osteoarthritis by providing cushioning and reducing friction between bones.
