Saudi Arabia, Riyadh: A distinguished medical team led by orthopedic surgeons accomplished three mini-surgeries with a new technique to inject micro fat cells “Lipogem" successfully. This method is an innovative treatment in the Orthopedics Department at Aster Sanad Hospital, and one of its kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This new technology is considered as an innovative technique and a safe treatment method used on patients with bone joint conditions. The technology is ideal for patients with certain orthopedic conditions, such as painful joints — including the knee, ankle or shoulder — with limited range of motion, this new technique has been proven effective in treating many chronic conditions around the world, knowing that it has been applied in Europe for the last three years and has given successful direct results that surface during the first two weeks of the injection.

This procedure is considered one of the most advanced techniques in the field of chronic pain and arthritis that aims to eliminate the pain of arthritis permanently and allows patients in early stages to avoid the option of surgery. It is an ideal solution for those who have not benefited from drug therapy or conservative treatment, such as natural therapy, or lifestyle change, such as weight loss.

The introduction of this new and significant technology is in line with the policy of Aster Sanad and its commitment to apply modern techniques in the treatment of joints. It is one of Aster Sanad Medical Hospital achievements in providing the highest quality and care to meet the aspirations and needs of patients. 

Dr. Fouad Maatouk, head of orthopedic surgery team at Aster Sanad, stated: “Lipogems is a cutting-edge technology that harnesses the powerful healing capacity of the adipose tissue to support the body’s natural regenerative process, having this technology at Aster Sanad is a great way in helping patient’s, as it aligned with our goal at Aster Sanad in taking good care of our people”.
