Orthocell
Orthocell allows us to treat tendon conditions such as Achilles and Patella tendinopathy using your own healthy tendon cells.
Orthocell is the name of a Bio therapeutic company that provides an innovative process to help with the repair and symptom relief in tendon problems.
Tendon problems are often chronic and difficult to treat. There are various modalities available at Sportsmed Biologic that include physiotherapy, nutrition, exercise therapy and medical Interventions.
The Sports medicine physician may decide that Orthocell is a treatment suited to your tendon condition.
The treatment involves taking a sample of your healthy tendon and sending it to the Orthocell laboratory in order to culture millions of new and viable tendon cells. These are then injected under ultrasound guidance into the tendon. The new tendon cells can then help relieve the symptoms and assist with tendon repair.
This technique has shown much promise and may be suitable if other therapies have not been of assistance.
