What is a collagen injection?
Orthopedic collagen injections are a treatment method to supplement collagen in joint tissues such as articular cartilage, ligaments and tendons. This method involves injecting a solution containing synthetic or natural collagen into the joint space or damaged tissue. Injected collagen helps repair and regenerate tissue, reduces inflammation and relieves pain.
In what cases is collagen injection used?
In orthopedics, collagen injections can be used to treat various joint problems, including:
- Osteoarthritis: This is a joint disease caused by wear and tear of the joint cartilage.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons that connect muscles to bones.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the joint sac.
- Meniscus tears: These are tears that occur in the cartilage tissue called the meniscus.
- Post-operative recovery: To speed up recovery after joint surgery.
- Chronic joint pain: Used to treat joint pain that does not respond to other treatments.
