Eco-guided Orthobiological Treatments
Musculoskeletal ultrasound
What is Musculoskeletal Ultrasound?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is an essential tool for obtaining detailed images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and bones, significantly improving diagnosis and treatment in traumatology.
Advantages of Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography
It provides direct and accurate information about the lesion in consultation.
It allows accurate infiltrations, avoiding 'blind' infiltrations.
It facilitates rapid and effective patient recovery, minimising the risk of damage to nearby anatomical structures.
Hyaluronic Acid - Viscosupplementation
What is Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a molecule naturally present in the synovial fluid of joints and in the extracellular matrix of ligaments, tendons and cartilage. It is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis and other degenerative conditions to improve lubrication and shock absorption in joints.
Functions of Hyaluronic Acid
Shock absorption and cartilage nutrition.
Reduction of pain and inflammation.
Cartilage protection (chondroprotective effect).
Types of Hyaluronic Acid
Preference for high molecular weight HA to treat degenerative pathologies of the knee due to its stability and efficacy.
PRP - Platelet Growth Factor Rich Plasma
What is PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative medicine treatment that uses growth factors contained in platelets to accelerate and optimise the repair of damaged tissue.
It is an autologous preparation that releases cellular signals for tissue repair.
Stimulates the regeneration of tissues affected by ageing, injury or disease.
PRP Considerations
It is not a painful process and has a quick recovery.
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen or diclofenac and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours after treatment.
Effective in a variety of surgeries, reducing inflammation and pain, speeding recovery and improving patient comfort.
