WHY PLATELET RICH PLASMA NERVE HYDRODISSECTION FOR NERVE INJURIES? -Σύνδρομο καρπιαίου σωλήνα

Platelet-rich plasma nerve hydrodissection is a new option for carpal tunnel syndrome.Carpal tunnel syndrome has a long history of many failed attempts to find lasting conservative treatments. It is characterized mainly as compression of the median nerve as it passes through the bony carpal tunnel in the wrist beneath the transverse carpal ligament. It shares the bony canal with finger flexor tendons which create a breeding ground for inflammation. It is thought to be caused by prolonged and excessive wrist flexion such as during typing and driving.

The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma Formulations and Blood Products on Human Synoviocytes Implications for Intra-articular Injury and Therapy

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has come a long way since first used by Ferrari and his colleagues back in 1987 for open heart surgery.  It is now being applied in a variety of medical fields, from orthopedics, to opthalmology, neurosurgery, and even cosmetics.  Along the way, researchers have examined many aspects of Platelet Rich Plasma, in an attempt to discover the most beneficial components and exact mechanisms of the rich cocktail of inflammatory, growth factors, and platelets.  Accompanying the myriad of bioactive proteins and growth factors, are also red blood cells (RBC) white blood cells (WBC), which can be present in varying concentrations depending on the patient and the laboratory technique. Current trends in PRP research are starting to examine the effects of Leukocyte (white blood cells) and Erythrocyte (red blood cells) concentrations on the inflammatory response of PRP.

ABSTRACT

Background: Several treatment options have been proposed to treat lateral epicondylitis. Both Platelet rich plasma (PRP) and Extra-corporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) are new treatment modalities for tendinopathy. Patients and Methods: Thirty seven patients suffering from chronic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) for at least six months were treated in this study. The patients were divided into two treatment groups,

Platelet Rich Plasma Stem Cell Plus Therapy

t Ultimate “U” Medical we have combined the standard platelet rich plasma with your own natural (autologous) stem cells and our unique proprietary formula.
When this Platelet Rich Plasma Stem Cell Plus therapy is injected at the site of the injury it augments the bodies healing response by greater that 500%.
We are seeing stunning results in a wide spectrum of uses, such as:
Overuse conditions, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff Injury, patellar tendonitis and instability, feet and all kinds of muscle, cartilage, tendon and ligament injuries.

Joint injuries to backs, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, pelvis and SI joints, knees and ankles show remarkable improvement with PRP Treatment and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis and neuropathy respond well to PRP treatment as well.

Studies have shown the significant improvement experienced by patients often eliminates the need for more risky therapies such as long-term use of narcotic pain pills, anti-inflammatory steroids and most importantly, surgery.

It is important to remember that our PRP Therapy uses your own bodies healing power to heal itself!

The procedure is done in our office. We draw a small amount of your blood, place it in a centrifuge to separate the components of your blood including the platelets and stem cells. We extract the platelets and stem cells, then add our proprietary formula to further enhance the healing capability of the PRP.
At the site of your injury we inject a small amount of lidocaine, a very effective anesthetic. Then the PRP is injected. Our work is done and now your stem cells and platelets begin to do their job. Individuals vary and the injection sites are different but most patients will experience a mild sensation of stiffness due to the added fluid. This is usually gone in about two days. Over the next two weeks the platelets and stem cells do their job. This can augment the healing process 500-fold.
With shoulders, backs and knees, these bigger areas can require more than one session . There is no limit to the number of injections you can receive. We recommend sessions be spaced about a month apart. Most of our patients get substantial relief with three sessions.

What are the risks?
With any injection there is a potential for infection. PRP Therapy is not recommended for patients with bleeding disorders, those on anti-coagulants, those with cancers such as Leukemia or lymphoma and PRP should be avoided if you are pregnant.
For everyone else remember that we are using your platelets and your stem cells to enhance your own healing. There is no risk of rejection because your own healing cells are being used to heal you.
The results speak for themselves, so please review the testimonials from patients that Dr. Smith has treated. Their problems vary but their results are all amazing.

Keep Your Meniscus – Avoid knee arthritis - Ρήξη μηνίσκου

The knee joint has two types of cartilage – shiny hyaline cartilage firmly adheres at the end of the bones that allows smooth translation of the hard bone surface on each other. The second type of cartilage is placed firmly in the inner and outer joint space known as the meniscus fibrocartilage.
The meniscus is like a bumper that allows shock absorption during loading/pivot stress and offers stability to the joint. The meniscus in the inner (medial) aspect is attached to the joint ligament and more prone to injury- commonly resulting in a medial meniscal tear. The outer (lateral) meniscus is less prone to injury and is the lateral meniscus.

Platelet-rich plasma treatment more effective than cortisone for severe hip bursitis - Τροχαντήριτιδα

Chronic hip bursitis is a common yet difficult condition to treat successfully. A recent study, presented today at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), compared the results of PRP and cortisone injections in patients with severe chronic hip (greater trochanteric) bursitis.

Platelet-Rich-Plasma therapy - Fighting the biological clock in sports

 Neil Bedolla
Athletes across all professional leagues know it, though they certainly won’t express it. From the minute they set foot on the court, take the field, or throw a pitch, their biological clock is ticking. As they age, they are more prone to injuries, the pressure to cash in on multimillion dollar deals increases and the window of opportunity decreases.
