Orthobiological Therapies in Musculoskeletal Disorders

Официальное название

Clinical and Functional Evaluation of Orthobiological Therapies in Musculoskeletal Conditions

Обзор

To evaluate the clinical and functional effects of using orthobiological therapies (hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate, nanofat, among others) in the treatment of various musculoskeletal diseases in patients routinely treated at the Proregen Medical Clinic and its affiliates. The sample will consist of adult patients (≥18 years), of both sexes, with different musculoskeletal diagnoses involving joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage or bone, among others.

Подробное описание

Orthobiological therapies, such as hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and adipose tissue derivatives, have been widely used in the management of musculoskeletal pathologies, including tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, and delayed bone consolidation. However, scientific evidence is still limited by the heterogeneity of protocols, populations, and evaluation methods. This umbrella project aims to prospectively record and analyze the clinical and functional outcomes associated with the use of these therapies in patients treated according to institutional medical indications. Participants with different osteoarticular pathologies undergoing routine orthobiological treatment at the Proregen Medical Clinic and its affiliates will be included. The central hypotheses of the study are that orthobiological therapies present measurable clinical benefits in terms of pain, function, and quality of life in various osteoarticular indications; that the safety of these approaches is adequate when performed under defined clinical criteria; and that it is possible to identify patterns of greater efficacy according to the type of orthobiological agent, the pathology, and the follow-up time. As an expected conclusion, the study aims to generate real clinical data that can serve as a basis for derivative studies, in addition to contributing to the standardization and rationalization of the use of orthobiological therapies in orthopedic practice.

Вмешательства

• Биопрепарат PRP injection
  Obtained by centrifuging blood, it concentrates platelets and growth factors for regeneration.
• Биопрепарат Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC)
  Bone marrow aspirate, rich in mesenchymal stem cells and progenitor cells for tissue repair.
• Биопрепарат Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation)
  Used for joint lubrication and cartilage protection, very common in osteoarthritis.
• Биопрепарат Nanofat
  It is an even more refined and liquefied form of processed fat, used primarily for high-precision tissue repair.

Первичные конечные точки

• Pain scale [Срок оценки: From registration until six months, one year, and two years. Two years is the final follow-up period.]
• Joint function [Срок оценки: Assessment at six months, one year, and two years. The total follow-up period is two years.]
