The BIOSS method (metodica BIOSS) is aimed at delaying prosthetics. This treatment can prevent the progression of the disease, remove unpleasant symptoms, and improve the functionality of the joint.
For the treatment of femoral head necrosis, the Italian network of GVM clinics uses the Bioss method. It allows to revascularize, stabilize, and start the process of regeneration of the affected bone.
The technique combines the Core Decompression technique (a treatment that creates a channel to reduce pressure within the bone itself, facilitating blood circulation, with an efficiency of up to 90% in mild/moderate cases and up to 40% in severe cases) and biological treatment (the use of growth factors, mesenchymal cells).
BIOSS consists in the introduction of a special screw having holes on the longitudinal axis. It is attached to the joint. Necrotic tissue is preliminarily removed and blood circulation in the bone is restored. The design of the screw makes it possible to introduce osteoinductive or osteoconductive substances into the bone itself, stimulating regeneration from the inside. The screw becomes a kind of “door”, through which other substances can be reintroduced over time.
Professor R. Giancola specializes in the treatment with the BIOSS method. The doctor has 45 years of experience in the treatment of orthopedic diseases using minimally invasive surgery.
You can undergo innovative treatment of aseptic necrosis at the San Carlo di Nancy Hospital (part of the GVM clinic network) in Rome. To be accepted in an Italian clinic, leave a request to the Experts Medical coordinator and get a free consultation.
