Shoulder Treatment at OrthoNovo
If you suffer from chronic shoulder pain due to arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis or an old injury, or you’ve recently injured your rotator cuff or suffered a ligament or tendon sprain or tear, then you may benefit from physical therapy, traditional orthopedic care, non-surgical stem cell injections or even stem cell-enhanced surgery.
Can stem cells heal shoulders?
A recent study showed that rotator cuff tear patients who received bone marrow-derived stem cells were observed to have fared much better over a 10 year period.
Biologic augmentation of rotator cuff repair with mesenchymal stem cells during arthroscopy improves healing and prevents further tears: a case-controlled study.
CONCLUSION: This study showed that significant improvement in healing outcomes could be achieved by the use of BMC containing MSC as an adjunct therapy in standard of care rotator cuff repair. Furthermore, our study showed a substantial improvement in the level of tendon integrity present at the ten-year milestone between the MSC-treated group and the control patients. These results support the use of bone marrow-derived MSC augmentation in rotator cuff repair, especially due to the enhanced rate of healing and the reduced number of re-tears observed over time in the MSC-treated patients.
What makes Treatment at OrthoNovo Different?
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (NovoMAC™)
Learn More…AmnioNovo™ - Amniotic Tissue Product
Learn More…At OrthoNovo, we augment NovoMAC™ with AmnioNOVO™, a proprietary, pliable tissue allograft (transplant) derived from human placental amnion, which functions as a biologic structural matrix to facilitate and enhance tissue healing and repair. AmnioNOVO™ contains 108 different growth factors including WNT-4 and prostaglandin.
Prostaglandin inhibits inflammation, which occurs after injury and marks the beginning of the healing process. The faster we can tame this inflammation, the sooner the body can move on to the next phase of healing, regeneration. It’s important to note that AmnioNOVO™ has more than 60 times the amount of prostaglandin compared to other products.
WNT4 is arguably the single most important molecule required for wound healing. AmnioNOVO™ has more than 10 times the amount of WNT4 as competing products.
