Joint Preservation Procedures

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and preserve joint health. It’s an advanced form of regenerative medicine used for patients suffering from early arthritis, cartilage wear, ligament injuries, and chronic joint pain — especially in the knee, shoulder, and hip. PRP Therapy for Joint Preservation The PRP procedure involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s own blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets — the cells rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the affected joint or tissue under sterile conditions, where it helps reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and improve joint lubrication. As a Joint Preservation and Regenerative Therapy Specialist, Dr. Prajyot Jagtap uses PRP therapy to delay the progression of arthritis and minimize the need for surgical intervention. The treatment supports cartilage regeneration, enhances mobility, and allows patients to stay active without long recovery periods. It’s especially beneficial for young, active individuals and early-stage osteoarthritis cases where joint replacement can still be avoided. Because the treatment uses the patient’s own blood, PRP is safe, biocompatible, and has virtually no risk of allergic reaction or infection. Most patients experience gradual improvement in pain and function within a few weeks, with results continuing to enhance over several months. Key Benefits of PRP Therapy: Natural healing using the body’s own growth factors Non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment option Reduces inflammation and promotes cartilage repair Improves joint lubrication and flexibility Delays or prevents the need for joint replacement Quick recovery and long-lasting pain relief

Stem Cell Therapy represents one of the most advanced regenerative techniques in orthopaedics, offering new hope for patients with early arthritis, cartilage degeneration, and chronic joint pain. It focuses on joint preservation by repairing and regenerating damaged tissues naturally — helping patients maintain mobility and delay or avoid joint replacement surgery. Stem Cell Therapy for Joint Preservation In this procedure, stem cells — powerful cells capable of transforming into various tissue types — are extracted from the patient’s own bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue. These cells are then concentrated and injected precisely into the affected joint under image guidance. Once inside, they help reduce inflammation, promote new cartilage growth, and improve the body’s natural healing response. As part of regenerative joint preservation care, Dr. Prajyot Jagtap uses stem cell therapy to treat conditions like osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, and shoulder, meniscus or ligament injuries, and cartilage wear. This advanced, minimally invasive approach aims to restore joint function, relieve pain, and maintain joint health for the long term. Because the treatment uses the patient’s own biological cells, it is safe, minimally invasive, and free from immune reactions. Recovery is quick, and many patients experience steady improvement in pain and mobility over the following months as tissue healing progresses. Key Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy: Promotes natural regeneration of cartilage and joint tissues Reduces inflammation and joint stiffness Delays or eliminates the need for joint replacement surgery Minimally invasive with quick recovery time Safe and biocompatible — uses patient’s own stem cells Improves joint strength, stability, and mobility

Regrow Therapy is an advanced, scientifically developed regenerative treatment designed to preserve the hip joint and prevent the progression of Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hip. By restoring damaged bone tissue and improving blood supply, this therapy offers patients the possibility of avoiding or delaying hip replacement surgery — especially in the early and mid-stages of AVN. Regrow Therapy for Hip Preservation In Avascular Necrosis, the blood supply to the femoral head decreases, leading to bone death, collapse, and severe hip pain. Regrow Therapy works by harvesting the patient’s own stem cells or bone marrow-derived cells, processing them in a controlled laboratory environment, and reintroducing them into the affected hip. These cells stimulate natural bone regeneration, enhance healing, and help restore the structural integrity of the femoral head. This therapy is performed using minimally invasive techniques such as core decompression, where channels are created in the bone to relieve pressure and improve blood flow. The regenerative cells are then injected into these channels, promoting new bone formation and preventing further joint damage. Regrow Therapy is ideal for patients in the early stages of AVN who experience persistent hip pain, stiffness, or difficulty walking but still have preserved joint shape and cartilage. With timely intervention, this therapy can significantly slow disease progression, reduce symptoms, and help maintain natural joint movement for years. At our center, Regrow Therapy is offered as part of a comprehensive hip preservation program focused on early diagnosis, precision imaging, targeted regenerative treatment, and structured rehabilitation — ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients seeking alternatives to major surgery. Key Benefits of Regrow Therapy: Stimulates natural bone regeneration in the femoral head Improves blood supply to slow or halt AVN progression Reduces hip pain, stiffness, and movement restriction Delays or helps avoid the need for hip replacement surgery Minimally invasive with faster recovery Ideal for early-stage Avascular Necrosis and young active individuals

Viscosupplementation is a highly effective joint preservation therapy designed to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients suffering from early to moderate osteoarthritis. It involves injecting a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid directly into the affected joint — most commonly the knee — to restore the natural lubrication and cushioning that the joint has lost due to wear and tear. Viscosupplementation Therapy for Joint Preservation Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component of the joint fluid that allows smooth, pain-free movement. With age or arthritis, its levels decrease, leading to friction, stiffness, and discomfort. By replenishing this essential lubricant, viscosupplementation helps reduce inflammation, ease joint pain, and enhance flexibility without surgery. At our center, viscosupplementation is performed using high-quality, FDA-approved formulations under sterile conditions and ultrasound guidance for maximum precision. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime — allowing patients to resume daily activities soon after treatment. Viscosupplementation is often recommended for patients who have not achieved sufficient relief from oral medications or physiotherapy but are not yet ready for joint replacement. It is a safe, well-tolerated, and proven treatment that supports long-term joint preservation and function. Key Benefits of Viscosupplementation: Restores natural lubrication and shock absorption in the joint Reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation Improves mobility and joint flexibility Delays or prevents the need for surgery Quick, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated procedure Enhances overall quality of joint function and movement

Microplasty is an advanced joint preservation procedure designed for patients with early-stage joint damage or partial cartilage wear. It aims to relieve pain, restore smooth joint motion, and delay or avoid the need for total joint replacement by treating only the affected portion of the joint. Microplasty Joint Preservation Procedure This minimally invasive technique uses specialized precision instruments and, in some cases, robotic assistance to resurface or replace the damaged part of the joint — typically within the knee — while keeping the surrounding healthy bone, ligaments, and cartilage intact. This preserves the natural movement and feel of the joint, ensuring a faster and more natural recovery. Microplasty is an ideal option for patients with localized arthritis or cartilage loss affecting one side of the knee (unicompartmental osteoarthritis). By focusing treatment only where needed, it minimizes surgical trauma, reduces recovery time, and retains much of the joint’s original anatomy. At our center, Microplasty is performed with a focus on precision, safety, and long-term joint preservation. Using advanced imaging and computer-guided tools, the procedure ensures perfect alignment, optimal function, and long-lasting results — helping patients regain mobility and return to their active lifestyles sooner. Key Benefits of Microplasty: Preserves healthy bone and natural joint movement Minimally invasive with smaller incisions Faster recovery and less post-operative discomfort Delays or prevents the need for total knee replacement Improves alignment, stability, and joint function Ideal for early arthritis or localized cartilage damage

Biologic Injections represent the forefront of joint preservation and regenerative orthopaedics, offering a natural, minimally invasive approach to treat joint pain, inflammation, and cartilage degeneration. This therapy harnesses the body’s own healing potential to repair damaged tissues and restore joint health — without surgery. Biologic Injections for Joint Preservation These injections use concentrated biological substances such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, and other growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood or tissues. When injected into the affected joint under image guidance, these biologics stimulate natural healing, reduce inflammation, and promote the regeneration of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Biologic injections are highly effective in managing early osteoarthritis, sports injuries, tendonitis, and mild cartilage wear.
