Regenerative medicine includes different biological treatments (stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, collagen meshes, etc.) aimed at treating cartilage diseases (wear and tear or osteoarthritis).
Cartilage is a soft, tough tissue that lines joint surfaces, allowing smooth, frictionless movement. The most common diseases of cartilage are degenerative (osteoarthritis or chondromalacia) and traumatic (osteochondritis or traumatic rupture).
Treatments for cartilage diseases are varied and may include analgesic or chondrotrophic drugs, physiotherapy, injections with stem cells, platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid and, in severe cases, surgery.
The main goal of regenerative medicine is to restore the function of the affected joint tissue and relieve joint pain.
