| Sumario: | Osteoarthritis is a major cause of functional limitation and a raising burden in aging population. Lately more research is directed into finding biological enhancement of healing processes in joint dysfunctions. Biological cell-based therapies for cartilage restoration treatment were created to address the need for the long-term viability of repaired tissues. Additionally, the use of biologic therapies is also considered in common disorders affecting ligaments and cartilage. However, if inevitable arthritic changes commence biological therapies offer options to delay the need for arthroplasty. This chapter provides insights into these regenerative, joint preservation techniques for cartilage treatment, osteoarthritis, and other joint disorders. |
