Ortho-Biologics
Healing From Within – The Future of Non-Surgical Orthopaedics
Ortho-Biologics represent the next frontier in orthopaedic care — using your body’s own healing potential to treat joint damage, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. At The Joint Replacement Centre, Dr. Mukund Agrawal offers cutting-edge biologic therapies like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cell Therapy to delay or even avoid joint replacement in early to moderate cases of arthritis and soft tissue injuries.
These treatments are ideal for individuals looking for non-surgical solutions and long-term joint preservation with minimal side effects.
What Are Ortho-Biologics?
Ortho-biologics are natural substances derived from the body (like blood or bone marrow) or biologically engineered to aid in healing musculoskeletal injuries.
They help:
- Stimulate cartilage repair
- Control inflammation and pain
- Enhance tissue regeneration
- Support healing in bones, muscles, and tendons
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP involves extracting a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate healing platelets, and injecting it into the affected joint or tissue.
Used for:
- Early knee osteoarthritis
- Tendonitis or tennis elbow
- Ligament injuries
- Rotator cuff tears
Benefits:
- Non-surgical, outpatient procedure
- Reduces inflammation
- Supports healing without downtime
- Ideal for joint preservation in younger patients
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells have the ability to regenerate and repair damaged tissue. At JRC, we offer bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and adipose-derived stem cell injections for advanced biological healing.
Used for:
- Cartilage defects
- Early arthritis
- Degenerative tendon disorders
- Post-injury tissue healing
Benefits:
- Delays need for surgery
- Promotes regeneration at the cellular level
- Personalized treatment with minimal risks
Adjunct to Arthroscopic & Joint Preservation Surgeries
Ortho-biologics are also used to enhance healing after arthroscopy or as an add-on to physiotherapy in early arthritis. Dr. Mukund integrates these advanced therapies to maximize recovery, especially in sports injuries, ligament reconstruction, and early degenerative changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
About Ortho-Biologics (PRP & Stem Cell Therapy)
What are ortho-biologics?
Ortho-biologics are natural, regenerative substances derived from the body — such as blood, bone marrow, or fat — used to accelerate healing of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. They offer a non-surgical optionfor joint preservation and pain relief.
What is PRP therapy and how does it work?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to isolate platelets, and injecting the concentrated platelets into injured joints or tissues. These platelets release growth factors that reduce inflammation and support natural healing.
What conditions can be treated with PRP or stem cell therapy?
Ortho-biologics are effective in managing:
- Early to moderate knee and hip osteoarthritis
- Tendonitis, tennis/golfer’s elbow
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Cartilage defects and ligament tears
- Degenerative joint disorders
What is stem cell therapy in orthopaedics?
Stem cell therapy involves collecting cells from your bone marrow or fat tissue and injecting them into damaged joints or tissues. These cells have the ability to regenerate cartilage, reduce pain, and improve function over time.
Is ortho-biologic therapy safe?
Yes. Since PRP and stem cell therapies use your own body’s cells, they are considered very safe with minimal risk of infection or rejection. All procedures at JRC are done under strict, sterile, and image-guided conditions.
How long does it take to see results?
Most patients experience gradual improvement over 2 to 6 weeks after the injection. Pain reduction, improved joint mobility, and better overall function are commonly reported benefits.
Is this a permanent solution?
While not a permanent fix, biologics can delay or prevent the need for surgery, especially in early-stage arthritis. Many patients experience long-lasting relief, particularly when combined with physiotherapy and lifestyle modifications.
Can I avoid joint replacement surgery with biologics?
In early to moderate arthritis, yes — biologics can significantly delay the need for surgery. However, in advanced joint degeneration, they may not replace surgical options but can still aid in post-surgical recovery.
Is the procedure painful?
Most biologic injections are minimally painful, similar to other joint injections. We use ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance to ensure precision and comfort during the process.
Why choose Dr. Mukund Agrawal for biologic therapy?
Dr. Mukund combines global expertise in regenerative orthopaedics, evidence-based protocols, and advanced imaging techniques to deliver personalized treatments that promote healing while avoiding unnecessary surgery.
