The Future of Regenerative Medicine is Awaited
By Radhika K.
Regenerative medicine promises to reduce and delay surgical interventions in orthopaedic patients.
- With the growing popularity of orthobiologics (a term used for biological substance used by orthopaedic surgeons to heal the body), regenerative medicinal therapies are used to treat arthritis, knee & hip replacements and other orthopaedic problems.
- Patients with degenerative joint conditions and musculoskeletal injuries have got an option to move towards joint preservation and away from replacement.
- Regenerative medicine in Orthobiologics is a new field of medicine where Orthopedic surgeons treat orthopaedic injuries by providing the patient body with cells, materials, and stimulation which heals the body without surgery.
- Research, case studies and anecdotal evidence support orthobiologics treatment and regenerative medicines in some circumstances such as osteoarthritis and tendinopathy while other treatments are debated.
- The first orthopaedic regenerative procedure dates back to 500 BC, when Roman Soldiers with joint locations were treated with hot needle therapy.
- However, modern orthopaedic regenerative medicine has developed over the past 80 years, it has focused on modifying the healing response of the body. Presently, it has focused on the implantation of cells to initiate healing in musculoskeletal structures.
- Growth in the standard orthobiologics practitioners and regenerative medicine practitioners is observed.
- Regenerative medicine is a promising field which holds scope for further research. It will expand the range of minimally invasive treatment options and conditions that are not treated by therapies.
