OrthoBiology is biomedical technology which develops treatment to repair and regenerate injured tissue. It is an advance within the context of regenerative medicine, whose goal is to bring the research into the clinical world, applying knowledge of biomechanics and new biologies to the development of treatments and solutions for problems with the musculoskeletal system. Therapies using "plasma rich in platelets" belong to this biomedical sector of orthobiology.
Therapy rich in platelets constitutes an emerging technology in the field of regenerative medicine, applied successfully to the field of traumatology by Dr. Mikel Sánchez and his team since over 10 years ago, allowing the improvement of the healing process and tissue remodelling through the input of bioactive agents that provide anabolic, chemotactic and proliferative cell responses.
