Regenerative Orthopaedics in Gurgaon

Regenerative orthopaedics uses biological agents (concentrated platelets (PRP), bone-marrow concentrate (BMAC) and mesenchymal stem cells) derived from your own body to support the natural repair of damaged joints, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Instead of removing or replacing the damaged structure, the aim is to support healing. All therapies are autologous (your own cells), minimally invasive (injection-based) and delivered under image guidance.

Corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation and are used for symptom relief; repeated use can affect tissue. Regenerative therapies use concentrated components of your own blood or marrow with the aim of supporting tissue healing. Which is suitable depends on the condition.

Some patients with early-to-moderate arthritis, partial ligament tears, chronic tendinopathies and select sports injuries may be able to avoid or delay surgery. This is not guaranteed and does not apply to every condition: complete ligament ruptures or end-stage bone-on-bone arthritis often still need surgery. Your 360° assessment gives an individualised answer.

PRP typically takes 60–90 minutes in the clinic: blood draw, processing, then image-guided injection. BMAC takes about 2 hours because of the bone marrow harvesting step. Both are outpatient day-care procedures, and no hospitalisation is required.

The blood draw feels like a routine blood test; the bone marrow harvest is done under local anaesthetic with a sensation of pressure. The injection at the target site is similar to other injections. Most patients have mild soreness and swelling for 1–3 days afterwards, which is a normal part of the healing response.

Improvement, where it occurs, is gradual, because tissue repair takes time. Response varies between patients and conditions. We track measurable outcomes at structured follow-ups (typically at 6 and 12 weeks) so progress can be reviewed.

Because your own cells are used, allergic reaction or rejection is uncommon. The most common side effects are temporary: soreness, swelling and stiffness at the injection site for a few days. Infection and bleeding are rare risks; image guidance and sterile technique are used to minimise them. We go through the risks and benefits before you decide.

This varies by condition and individual. Some patients report benefit lasting a year or more, and treatment can be repeated if appropriate. Combined with lifestyle changes, weight management and rehab, results may be maintained for longer.

Yes, and we recommend it. Regenerative therapy is intended to support a healing environment; physiotherapy guides the tissue as it heals and rebuilds strength around the joint. Our integrated team builds the combined plan for you from day one.

Cost varies by therapy: PRP is typically less costly than BMAC and stem cell procedures, which involve more steps. In India, regenerative therapies are generally an out-of-pocket expense and are not covered by most insurance plans. We outline all costs in advance.

At OSSO, regenerative therapy is led by a fellowship-trained orthopaedic specialist, delivered under image guidance, integrated with physiotherapy from day one, and followed by measurable outcome tracking.
