Regenerative Orthopaedic Treatments in Kochi

PRP-Based Treatments for Selected Joint and Tendon Conditions

The Regenerative Medicine programme in Orthopaedics at Apollo Adlux Hospital provides carefully selected biological treatment options for certain joint, tendon and soft-tissue conditions.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves preparing a concentrated platelet component from the patient's own blood and injecting it into a selected area as part of an individualised treatment plan. PRP may be considered for conditions such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis, depending on clinical assessment.

Biological treatments may also be considered in selected patients with osteoarthritis, tendon disorders or avascular necrosis of the femoral head, depending on the stage of disease and clinical indications. These therapies are not universal substitutes for surgery, and suitability should be determined after evaluation by an orthopaedic specialist. Evidence and regulatory considerations can vary by indication, particularly for cell-based treatments.
