The Lapiplasty procedure is a modern approach designed to correct bunions at their source, restoring natural foot alignment in three dimensions.
The Fibrin Disc Repair procedure is a minimally invasive treatment designed to address chronic back pain caused by damaged or torn spinal discs. During the procedure, a biologic called fibrin is injected into the disc to help seal tears and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. By stabilizing the damaged disc, Fibrin Disc Repair may help reduce pain and support the body’s ability to repair injured tissue. In many cases, this approach may offer an alternative to more invasive procedures such as spinal fusion.
Fibrin Disc Repair works by targeting the underlying structural damage within a spinal disc. When the outer layer of the disc develops small tears, the inner gel-like material can irritate nearby nerves and contribute to ongoing back or neck pain. Fibrin, a naturally occurring protein involved in the body’s clotting and healing processes, is injected directly into the damaged disc. The fibrin used for injection is FDA-approved for medical use, and in this context it helps seal tears within compromised discs while supporting the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
By sealing disc tears with fibrin, the Fibrin Disc Repair procedure aims to create a more stable environment inside the disc. Once the tears are sealed, the disc may better retain fluid and biologic material, which may support the body’s ability to replenish damaged cells and promote healthier disc tissue. The overall goal of Fibrin Disc Repair is to close the tears within the disc, reduce irritation to surrounding nerves, and encourage the natural healing process within the damaged disc.
