Sports injuries are injuries that most commonly occur during sports and exercises. These injuries may result from accidents, poor training practices, and use of improper protective gear, lack of conditioning, and insufficient warm-up and stretching. Sports injuries may be either acute (sprains, fractures, tears) or chronic (tendonitis, overuse injury) injuries.
Some common injuries that may affect the hand, wrist, and elbow include: swollen joints, trigger fingers, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, wrist arthritis, thumb arthritis, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, and elbow arthritis.
When you suffer an injury during sports events, never try to continue the activity in pain because it may cause further harm. Some injuries may require prompt attention by a doctor, while others can be treated at home.
You should seek medical treatment:
If you do not have any symptoms mentioned above, you can adopt self–care treatment at home. You should follow the RICE method immediately after injury to relieve pain and inflammation. These steps should continue for at least 48 hours.
Your doctor may recommend other treatments to help your injury heal. These include:
Orthobiologics are natural substances such as cells, blood components and growth factors that are typically used to speed up the healing of damaged tissues such as bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Orthobiologics may be obtained from your own body or a donor and are usually administered in the form of injections. They can be used in the treatment of many orthopedic conditions including elbow injuries.
Your body can repair most injuries by itself. However, with severe injuries or with advancing age, your body’s repair process may find it difficult to keep up with the damage done.
Your elbows are normally used for various activities involving repetitive movements and are prone to wear and tear. Over time, the damage to your elbows can get worse unless the body’s repair system is somehow enhanced. Orthobiologics can help boost your body’s repair system and ensure fast and efficacious healing naturally.
There are three main types of orthobiologics:
Of all the types, cell therapy has the greatest potential for promoting healing. This therapy is increasingly being used in the treatment of elbow injuries and conditions and may be considered as an alternative to elbow surgery.
You may be a candidate for cell therapy if you:
Cell therapy can be utilized to treat a wide range of elbow injuries and conditions including:
Specialized cells are present in all of us that act like a repair system for the body. The purpose of cell therapy is to make use of these cells to aid in the natural regeneration of the injured or damaged tissues such as bone, muscle or tendon.
When these cells are injected into your injured elbow, they begin to divide, grow and subsequently develop into the kind of cells needed for repair thus accelerating the healing process.
There are many sources of these specialized cells in your body. The most important source is bone marrow located in the centers of long bones and the pelvic bones from where they are usually derived as this region has the highest concentration of these cells.
However, these cells may also be harvested from natural fat deposits in your body such as the abdomen. Your doctor will choose the right source depending on your requirement and condition.
The procedure usually takes about half an hour depending on several factors. It is performed under local anesthesia. A highly sophisticated ultrasound instrument with enhanced needle visualization is used for the precise delivery of these cells.
During the procedure:
If a donor has provided the specialized cells required for cell therapy, the sample is tested and treated to ensure that it will not create an immune or allergic reaction in the patient. You will usually return home on the same day.
Cell therapy is a new-generation, advanced technique with many potential applications. It has shown promising results in the treatment of elbow injuries and conditions.
