The Joint Preservation Unit specialises in the treatment of joint conditions using strategies designed to preserve the structure and function of the joint for as long as possible. Through a personalised approach, it combines biological therapies and minimally invasive techniques to relieve pain, improve mobility and slow the progression of joint damage.

The aim of treatment is not merely to relieve symptoms, but to address the process of joint deterioration.
Biological therapies help to stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms and improve the quality of joint tissue, particularly in the early or intermediate stages of the disease.
This approach can help to slow the progression of degenerative conditions and, in certain cases, delay or avoid more complex surgical procedures.
The unit administers treatments selected according to the degree of joint involvement and the functional needs of each patient:
Injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and growth factors
Cell therapies, including mesenchymal cells
Conditioned autologous serum and other biological treatments
Intra-articular hyaluronic acid
High-precision ultrasound-guided procedures
These techniques enable direct treatment of the joint, help to manage inflammation and improve tissue condition to promote its preservation.
Joint preservation is indicated in patients presenting with:
Early-stage or moderate osteoarthritis
Persistent joint pain or limited mobility
Cartilage damage
Tendinopathies and overuse conditions associated with the joint
Ligament injuries causing functional impairment
Recurrent joint inflammation
A specialist assessment can determine whether there is scope for treatments aimed at preserving the joint.
The aim is to preserve joint function and maintain the patient’s quality of life for as long as possible.
This approach is particularly suitable for active people who wish to continue moving without restrictions, and for patients with degenerative conditions where the aim is to avoid or delay surgery.
In cases of persistent pain, functional limitation or signs of progressive deterioration, an expert assessment helps to determine which measures can help preserve the joint and maintain its function for as long as possible.
