Advances in Therapeutic Approach for Orthopaedic Surgery – A Review

Adnan Essa Al kilabi ^1*

This review discussed the new therapeutic approach in orthopedic surgery.

Abstract

Recent advancements in orthopaedics have revolutionized the management of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. This review provides insights into the latest developments in orthopaedic treatment. Stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in Regenerative Medicine have emerged as promising approaches to enhance tissue regeneration and accelerate healing. Robotic-assisted surgery enables surgeons to perform more precise procedures, improving surgical outcomes. Personalized medicine, tailored to individual genetic and environmental factors, is gaining prominence in treatment planning. Remote patient monitoring and telemedicine offer opportunities to enhance patient care and optimize healthcare delivery. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in orthopedics, particularly in diagnosis and treatment planning, is generating considerable interest. Overall, these advancements have led to enhanced treatment quality, reduced recovery periods, and improved patient outcomes in orthopedic surgery.
