Sports Injuries

Our Method

Our Unique Approach to Sports Injuries

According to the CDC, sports-related injuries in children and young adults lead to approximately 2.6 million visits to hospital emergency departments, costing around $500 million annually  making effective, regenerative treatment strategies more critical than ever.

The Scale of Sports Injuries

According to the CDC, sports-related injuries in children and young adults lead to approximately 2.6 million visits to hospital emergency departments, costing around $500 million annually. Sports-related injury visits were more common among individuals aged 5 to 24 years, accounting for over two-thirds of the total 3.7 million sports injury visits across all age groups.

Who Is Most Affected

For individuals aged 5–24 years, sports injuries resulted in 33.9 emergency visits per 1,000 persons and constituted nearly one out of every four injury visits to emergency departments in this age group. The visit rate for males was twice as high as that for females.

Tendon-Bone Insertion Injuries

Tendon-bone insertion injuries, such as rotator cuff and anterior cruciate ligament injuries, are currently prevalent and severe. The primary method of treating these types of injuries is through reconstruction surgery, with success relying on the graft's ability to integrate into the bone. Biological methods for enhancing tendon-bone integration are now at the forefront of research.

Stem Cells in Tissue Regeneration

Stem cells including bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), tendon stem/progenitor cells, synovium-derived MSCs, adipose-derived stem cells, and periosteum-derived periosteal stem cells possess the ability to self-regenerate and potentially differentiate into various cell types, and have been widely used in tissue repair and regeneration.
