Advancing sports medicine with innovative procedures that decrease recovery times and support better outcomes
Treating acute sports injuries with emerging biologic treatment options preserves more native tissue and uses the body’s natural healing power to achieve better long-term results. MaineHealth orthopedic surgeons also use non- and minimally- invasive procedures such as percutaneous tenotomy, platelet-rich plasma injections and high-resolution ultrasound technology to relieve chronic tendon and fascia pain.
High-Definition Ultrasound
Krystian Bigosinski, MD uses high-definition ultrasound technology for better image quality and a faster diagnosis.
Meniscal Cartilage Implantation
F. Lincoln Avery, MD replaces torn meniscus tissue with a collagen implant - the next phase in biologics.
Percutaneous Tenotomy for Tendon and Fascia Repair
Kate E Quinn, DO uses non-invasive ultrasonic energy to target diseased tendons/fascia.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for Tendon & Fascia Pain
Krystian Bigosinski, MD repairs damaged tendons using healing factors in the patient's own blood.
