Orthopedics& Regenerative Therapies
The cutting edge of regenerative medicine often uses stem cells, with a focus on tissue regeneration, replacement and engineering. These techniques have long held interest in the orthopaedics space, in which joints are particularly difficult for natural processes and specialists to treat. This is due to the requirement for mobility, which brings a range of specialised tissues, intense stresses and chances of complications. Expectations for new treatment options in this space are high.
In orthopaedic joint therapies, the aim is to restore painless function with the least invasive procedure available. The standard of care is to repair a damaged joint using existing tissue from the patient. Replacing a knee with an artificial joint is riskier and less desirable when a similarly effective result can be achieved using autografts. One compelling idea in this space is that an injection of stem cells will eventually be able to revitalise damaged ligaments, cartilage and bone to a healthy state. health care organizations for many years.
Ophthalmology
Ophthalmologists are the only practitioners medically trained to diagnose and treat all eye and visual problems including vision services (glasses and contacts) and provide treatment and prevention of medical disorders of the eye including surgery.
