What Is OSSGROW?
Best Stem Therapy doctor in Mumbai
Ossgrow is a bone therapy that is capable of stopping AVN progression and curing it permanently. It uses bone cell therapy; where dead cells are extracted and healthy bone cells are injected in order to develop healthy bone again.
- Extraction of bone marrow
- Bone cell culture
- Implantation of cultured bone cells
OSSGROW Cell-based Treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Bones and the entire musculoskeletal system provide protection movement and rigidity to our body. So that we can perform all vital functions of life without restrictions.
We are born with 300 bones but as we grow we end up with 206 as the bone matures its three types of cells work together to restore its function. They are osteoclasts that dissolve the bone, the osteoblasts that come from bone marrow forming new bone, and osteocytes that communicate with osteoblasts which send pressures or cracks in the bone and hold up the bone together and provide protection. The bones of the skeletal system and bone marrow of the human body need a steady blood supply to stay healthy.
The collagen in the bone constantly replenishes itself giving us a new skeleton every seven years. However, if blood flow to the bone gets restricted or decreases the bone cells may die resulting in severe pain and triggering the onset of bone necrosis also called Avascular necrosis (AVN).
- Injuries
- Accidents
- Strenuous Physical Activities
- Corticosteroid Medicines
- Smoking and Alcohol
- Blood Disorders
- Obesity and Sedentary lifestyle
These are the main contributing factors leading to bone defects and avascular necrosis.
In advance (Avascular necrosis stage 3 & 4) cases hip replacement surgery is the only treatment where an artificial metal implant surgically replaces your original joint. More than two to three lakh people each year in India are detected with bone defects including vascular necrosis of the joints.
Why You Should Do OSSGROW?
The whole idea is that the death cell is taken away and replaced by healthy osteoblasts. Which later on regenerated to osteocytes which are the basic bone cells. The idea of Ossgrow is to avoid hip replacement in young patients.
With Ossgrow therapy, patients have a chance to get permanently cured of AVN and their mobility has also been completely restored & does not need a follow-up even for another 10 years! And the patients get reunited with their old selves and dreams again. Moreover, Ossgrow is a natural treatment that does not use any artificial metal implant in the body. The results with Ossgrow are comparable to Total hip replacement.
The Procedure of (Ossgrow) Autologous Cell Therapy:
The affected individuals returned to their active physical lifestyle eliminating pain completely through bone cell therapy also known as autologous cell therapy. Autologous one’s own cells is a natural and biological treatment that regrows your own bone cells called osteoblasts to repair the damage in two easy steps. The first step is simple daycare and a painless procedure where your doctor will harvest a small amount of your bone marrow from your hip bone and will transport it in a controlled cold-chain environment.
Where your osteoblast cells are cultured for around four to five weeks. Then cells are then multiplied and grown to more than 48 million cells in labs. Every step during the manufacturing process is rigorously monitored through quality control to ensure the viability of your osteoblast cells. Before dispatching them back to the hospital for implantation. In the second step, your doctor introduces the cultured osteoblasts with a biocompatible gel into the site of the defect to achieve accelerated bone healing.
This procedure may require up to two days of hospital stay. Your doctor will then suggest you a rehabilitation program under a qualified physical therapist to strengthen your bones and regain a normal active lifestyle.
Advantages of bone cell therapy are:
- Natural &biological processes.
- Regenerates natural bone at the damaged site.
- Eliminates pain and restores your mobility lifelong and helps to regain back strength for all physical activities.
For example, A person met with an accident that left his hip injury and he was reduced to limping. He thought it was just an aftermath of the accident, and him being so young, it will curb on its own. But when the pain did not reduce, he sought a medical opinion & was later diagnosed with avascular necrosis (AVN). AVN or vascular Necrosis is the death of bone tissue, due to a lack of blood supply. The Ossgrow (bone cell therapy) can be treated in an early stage of AVN of Stage 1 and Stage 2
Signs and Symptoms Included
- Stiffness during rotation
- Pain while bending
- Immobility
- Limping
It's Too Late To Do OSSGROW?
Had it not been diagnosed at such as early-stage; it would have led to a quick progression over a short period of time. This would have gradually collapsed his hip joint, leaving the necessity of total hip replacement surgery as the only option. After the diagnosis of the patient, they opt for Ossgrow (Bone Cell Therapy Treatment).
Post-Bone cell therapy Precaution:
After having Ossgrow therapy, like about 4 to 6 weeks you should not be loading the hip joint immensely.
You can move but not put weights on it using a bit of support. And eventually, as time goes by and the bone is regenerating new cells are being formed. You can eventually get back to doing everything.
Disadvantages of Ossogrow:
There is not adequate data to suggest that a very active individual who likes to jog, run marathons and do a lot of high-impact activities will continue to benefit from Ossogrow. A person can continue low-impact activities like swimming, cycling, and hiking. In this way, it is similar in function to a total hip replacement.
