<h4>Regenerative Orthopedic Knee Treatments</h4>
Knee injuries are one of the most common problems we treat with Regenerative Orthopedic knee treatments at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, and that's important because the knee joint is one of the most crucial joints in the body, not to mention that knee function is vital to involvement in everyday activities.

The knee joint is in the middle of the leg and connects upwards to the femur (thigh bone) and downwards to the tibia (shin bone). The patella or kneecap sits to the front of these bones. The femur and tibia are connected by the four main ligaments at the knee, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL, found deep within the knee joint) and the Medial (MCL) and Lateral (LCL) Collateral Ligaments (on either side of the joint).

There are also two forms of cartilage in the knee, including articular cartilage, which protects the ends of both bones and the back of the patella allowing for smooth movement. The meniscus is another type of cartilage, which consists of two semicircular discs providing cushioning and support for the bones. Our knees are extremely vulnerable to injury in one or a combination of these elements. In the case of a knee injury, we recommend our <a title="Prolotherapy" href="https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/">Regenerative Orthopedic</a> knee treatments to strengthen and repair damaged tissue, ligaments, and tendons, to get you back quickly to the activities you love.
<h4>How Regenerative Orthopedics Works to Treat the Knee</h4>
Regenerative Orthopedics are innovative therapies that treat the knee by stimulating the immune system to repair damaged tissue. Prolotherapy is one type of regenerative treatment that is effective for knee injuries. "Prolo" comes from the word proliferate, and Prolotherapy then describes the therapy which boosts the proliferation of fibroblastic cells that stimulate the growth of the ligaments and tendons. The proliferation of the fibroblasts encourages new, strong, tissue to be formed. Why is this important? Because this new tissue is exactly what is needed to repair ligament, tendon, and meniscus injuries.

In some cases of knee injury, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) may be recommended. The blood platelets in Platelet Rich Plasma contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Certain injuries will require more potent means for healing and regeneration. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that have the potential to greatly accelerate the normal healing process, naturally.

The use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair, and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, and the menisci of the knee joint.
