Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows visualization of the interior of the joints to make a diagnosis and treatment without the need for open surgery, reducing the risk of complications and allowing a faster recovery.
Video cameras, scalpels and state-of-the-art devices are inserted through small incisions to repair or replace injured parts.
According to Dr. Luis Gallego, traumatologist director of the RegenerActiva clinic, “regenerative medicine allows us to restore the vitality of the musculoskeletal tissue, enhancing the body’s natural healing capacity. To do this, techniques are used that stimulate the body’s natural healing capacity, such as mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines or growth factors.”
These can be applied through infiltrations in the parts of the body that are needed, ideally guided by ultrasound or x-rays, or through arthroscopy with mesenchymal stem cells or molecules that stimulate them, such as cytokines or growth factors.
Regenerative traumatology has techniques that improve the quality of life of patients, avoiding or delaying the use of prostheses or other more aggressive solutions.
Mesenchymal stem cells are cells found in different parts of the body and that have the ability to reproduce and differentiate into cells of different tissues such as bone, cartilage or tendon. These cells are activated when there is an injury and participate in the repair process.
Growth factors and cytokines are proteins found in blood plasma that have biological effects such as cell proliferation and differentiation, the generation of blood vessels, and the migration of cells to places where growth is necessary. regeneration.
Arthroscopy treatments and regenerative medicine work together:
Through arthroscopy or minimally invasive surgery, the lesion can be cleaned and prepared with techniques that enhance the help signal and stimulate the arrival of mesenchymal stem cells, and implants are used for mechanical stabilization of the lesion or that serve as “ scaffolds” on which cells are deposited, forming new tissues.
Furthermore, with the infiltration of growth factors these cells are activated and enhanced.
Benefits of arthroscopy:
It allows lesions within a joint to be visualized and treated with greater precision and causing less damage to healthy tissue than traditional open surgery would do.
Reduces the risk of infection, bleeding, postoperative pain, hospitalization and recovery time.
Improves aesthetic and functional results.
Improves results compared to infiltrations, when combined with regenerative techniques, such as mesenchymal cells or growth factors, in order to enhance the body’s natural healing capacity and promote the regeneration of cartilage, bone, tendon or muscle and tissue repair through minimally invasive surgery.
It is applicable in various joint pathologies such as meniscus injuries, torn cruciate ligaments, chondromalacia, osteoarthritis or shoulder tendon injuries.
