Regenerative medicine is the process of replacing and regenerating human cells, tissues and organs to restore their normal function.
Innovative treatment techniques of this type seek to regenerate damaged tissues and organs in the body by replacing damaged tissue and/or stimulating the body’s own repair mechanisms to heal previously irreparable tissue.
An orthopaedic examination is essential to identify the causes of the problems in the affected joint and the possible applicability of these therapies. In most cases, those who see an orthopaedist for regenerative treatment do so because of localised pain in a joint of the body. No special preparation is required to undergo an orthopaedic examination. However, it is recommended to bring along any diagnostic reports that might be useful (e.g. recent MRI scan) that you already have.
