What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine aims to restore the structure and function of damaged tissues by harnessing and amplifying the body's own repair mechanisms. In orthopaedics, this means using biological agents derived from the patient's own body to heal cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bone — without synthetic drugs or surgery.
The Core Regenerative Treatments in Orthopaedics
PRP — Platelet-Rich Plasma
Blood is drawn, centrifuged to concentrate platelets, and injected into the damaged tissue. PRP has Level 1-2 evidence for knee osteoarthritis, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis. It is the most widely available and cost-effective regenerative option.
BMAC — Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate
Bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells that can differentiate into cartilage, bone, and connective tissue. BMAC concentrates these cells and delivers them to the damaged joint. More powerful than PRP for cartilage regeneration.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Viscosupplementation — replacing the depleted synovial fluid in arthritic joints with hyaluronic acid to improve lubrication and reduce pain. An established treatment with good evidence in knee osteoarthritis.
Dr. Sumit's Approach — OrthoRegen
As a DABRM (USA) certified regenerative medicine specialist, Dr. Sumit evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate regenerative protocol — based on the condition, grade of damage, age, and activity level.
Who Benefits Most?
- Patients with Grade 1-3 joint arthritis wanting to delay surgery
- Young patients with cartilage defects seeking to preserve their joint
- Athletes with chronic tendon or ligament injuries
- Patients unable to undergo surgery due to medical reasons
