Orthobiologics
At IMS, we provide physicians with evidence-based orthobiological solutions supported by extensive clinical experience
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are widely used to restore the natural viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid.
Key benefits:
-
Improves lubrication and shock absorption
-
Reduces pain and mechanical stress on cartilage
-
Provides anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects
-
Helps delay structural progression of osteoarthritis
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP is an autologous preparation obtained from the patient’s blood, processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF. Clinical effects:
-
Stimulates angiogenesis and tissue regeneration
-
Modulates inflammation and promotes extracellular matrix synthesis
-
Supports healing in cartilage lesions, tendinopathies, and degenerative joint conditions
-
Offers a regenerative, safe, and minimally invasive therapy
The SHS protocol (STOP-HEAL-SUPPORT) by ORTHOCORE is a sequential treatment strategy combining biological and biomechanical approaches for joint preservation in three integrated stages:
-
Stop
-
Inhibition of degenerative and inflammatory pathways
-
Biological blockade of DKK-1 to prevent cartilage breakdown
-
-
Heal
-
Regeneration using CellCore PRP, rich in platelets, proteins, and growth factors
-
Promotes reparative activity and biological stabilization of joint tissues
-
-
Support
-
Long-term biomechanical preservation with high–molecular-weight hyaluronic acid
-
Mimics synovial fluid, reduces friction, absorbs load, and protects against recurrent degeneration
-
Clinical outcomes:
-
Sustained pain reduction and functional improvement
-
Joint preservation and mobility restoration
-
Documented long-term success
-
Potential to delay or avoid joint replacement surgery
