The cartilage gradually wears away, which decreases <strong>bone protection<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Shoulder osteoarthritis usually develops slowly and the pain usually progresses in a similar manner, although it may present with spontaneous decompensation (primary osteoarthritis).<\/p>\n\n<p>Occasionally, osteoarthritis is due to previous shoulder injuries, whether ligamentous, tendon or cartilage, which accelerates the onset of symptoms (secondary osteoarthritis).<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can stem cell therapy \/ PRP help?<\/h4>\n\n<p>This regenerative medicine treatment is indicated for articular cartilage, muscle, tendon and ligament injuries, as it improves recovery times. If administered in tendon and muscle injuries, healing times are reduced. <\/p>\n\n<p><b>The advantages of mesenchymal stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are that:<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; It offers a non-surgical alternative therapy to reconstructive surgery for certain injuries, such as chronic tendinopathies, ligament rupture, osteonecrosis and chronic or acute tendinopathies.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Achieves beneficial results in ligament surgeries.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; It prevents the formation of fibrous tissue during recovery from muscle injuries. The use of plasma rich in growth factors also helps to recover earlier than usual. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Stimulates fibrocartilage regeneration in osteochondral and ligament injuries, acute or chronic tendinitis and supraspinatus tendon pathology.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the treatment protocol?<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>The<\/strong> stem <strong>cell protocol<\/strong> consists of extracting a small sample of the patient&#8217;s own adipose tissue in a high biosafety room under local anesthesia within 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n<p>Once this adipose tissue is obtained, it is processed with an ultrafiltration and fragmentation system to obtain a biological product called adipose tissue microfragmentation or nanofat.<\/p>\n\n<p>This product contains 40% mesenchymal cells, in addition to other properties that exert anti-inflammatory effects on articular cartilage and its adjacent structures, such as tendons, ligaments and muscles.<\/p>\n\n<p>The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, with same-day outpatient discharge.<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>The PRP (<\/strong> platelet-rich<strong>plasma<\/strong> )<strong>protocol<\/strong> consists of extracting an adequate sample of peripheral blood from a patient&#8217;s vein.<\/span> Subsequently, this is processed in a high-tech system, generating a HYPERCONCENTRATION of platelets, in a high biosafety environment, and then a dose of &gt;10 billion platelets is re-injected into the patient.<\/p>\n\n<p>All platelet-rich plasma treatments are always quantified in terms of platelet values, which makes our therapy practically 99% different from that of other regenerative centers.<\/p>\n\n<p>The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes with same day outpatient discharge.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are mesenchymal cells or PRP administered?<\/h4>\n\n<p>All of our regenerative medicine products are administered locally, under live fluoroscopy or via portable ultrasound with Wi-Fi connection.  <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long will it take to see results?<\/h4>\n\n<p>The results of regenerative treatments begin to be observed in each patient between 15 days and 2 months, although there are cases in which the reports begin to be objective between 6 and 12 months.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3554,"template":"","categoria":[6],"class_list":["post-3552","tratamientos","type-tratamientos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-ortopedico"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stemcelltherapyargentina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tratamientos\/3552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stemcelltherapyargentina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tratamientos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stemcelltherapyargentina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tratamientos"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stemcelltherapyargentina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stemcelltherapyargentina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stemcelltherapyargentina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=3552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
