What Is Distraction Arthroplasty Regenerative Healing? Distraction arthroplasty regenerative healing refers to a minimally invasive surgical approach that uses an external fixator to gently separate joint surfaces. This mechanical separation unloads the cartilage and creates a regenerative environment, which may promote joint preservation in selected cases of degeneration or deformity (Slater, 2025a). The approach has been described in multiple practice-based

Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Pain Chronic pain can be complex and multifactorial, often involving persistent inflammation, impaired tissue oxygenation, and compromised healing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for chronic pain has been explored as a therapeutic approach that delivers oxygen at higher-than-atmospheric pressures, potentially enhancing oxygen delivery to affected tissues. Increased tissue oxygenation may support the body’s reparative processes and

Understanding Radiofrequency Tissue Regeneration Radiofrequency (RF) therapy has gained attention in both aesthetic and musculoskeletal applications due to its potential to stimulate collagen production and improve tissue integrity. While it is often used as a standalone modality, radiofrequency tissue regeneration can also be part of an integrative approach that supports recovery and tissue repair. Although RF therapy is not the

Enhancing Recovery with Holistic Healing Therapies In regenerative healthcare, the integration of multiple non-invasive techniques has emerged as a promising strategy. One such approach involves combining Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Shockwave Therapy, and Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy. These holistic healing therapies offer a complementary set of mechanisms that may support tissue repair, reduce discomfort, and improve physiological resilience. Each of these

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy myths Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a well-established medical intervention, yet myths continue to circulate online and in public discussions. These misconceptions can cause unnecessary hesitation or misinformation about its potential benefits. This blog aims to clarify common myths, supported by research-based evidence, and help patients and practitioners alike make informed choices about HBOT (Slater et al.,

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and ageing Ageing is an intricate biological process shaped by genetic, environmental, and cellular factors. As science progresses, the search for interventions that may decelerate this process intensifies. One such intervention drawing increasing interest is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). By breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, patients may improve tissue oxygenation and stimulate cellular repair mechanisms.

As regenerative medicine evolves, the process of measuring treatment outcomes must also be reassessed. Traditional metrics may not fully capture the benefits and complexities of regenerative therapies. This necessitates a paradigm shift in evaluating regenerative medicine outcome measures to ensure that assessments align with the goals of restoring function and improving quality of life (Slater, 2021). Why Traditional Measures Fall

The integration of biologics in orthopaedic surgery is transforming the treatment landscape for tendon injuries. Traditional methods often fall short in promoting complete and efficient healing, especially in older patients or those with systemic conditions. Recent advancements in regenerative medicine, particularly the use of biologic therapies, are opening new avenues for faster and more effective tendon regeneration (Slater, Mathen, &

Introduction Foot and ankle deformities present significant challenges in orthopaedic surgery, often requiring innovative approaches to restore function and alleviate pain. Recent advancements have introduced regenerative hybrid alternatives that combine structural bone grafting with biologic therapies, offering promising outcomes for patients with complex deformities. Understanding Regenerative Hybrid Techniques Traditional reconstructive strategies have relied heavily on structural bone grafts to correct

Introduction Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign proliferative disorder affecting the synovial membranes of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. Characterised by joint swelling, pain, and reduced mobility, PVNS predominantly impacts the knee and ankle joints. Understanding PVNS PVNS manifests in two forms: localised and diffuse. The diffuse type is more aggressive, leading to joint destruction if not addressed
