The former BBB has torn part of his ligaments and will have to stay a month away from surfing to perform a regenerative treatment
the surfer Pedro Scooby33, told fans he will be away from the sea for a month to undergo stem cell treatment after partially tearing his knee ligaments while playing sports.
“How can the thing you love most hurt you? But there you are, yesterday I injured my knee ligament while surfing this incredible wave that is Jaconé. Big wave surfing is a dangerous sport that requires attention at all times. Stay calm. Anyway… the knee is already new and I’m back, ”Scooby posted on his Instagram profile.
Further on in the stories, the surfer said it’s a simple injury and his big wave world championship season isn’t compromised. The next stage should start in November, in Nazaré (Portugal). Scooby should only need a month to recover.
Stem cell procedure
Innovative, the treatment is still ongoing study phase in Brazil and for this reason the former BBB will go United States to perform the procedure. The best explanation is the Hospital das Clínicas hematologist Nelson Tatsui, who also works as the technical director of the Criogenesis Group.
“In Brazil it is in phase three of the studies. To use stem cells here you need the authorization of the authorities for human research,” he explains.
Exceptional cases, which carry the patient’s risk of death, can be evaluated more quickly. Scooby’s case seems to be simpler.
Stem cells have the function of constantly regenerating the tissues that make up our body. These procedures use mesenchymal stem cellscapable of producing any type of cell needed in a repair process, such as bone, cartilage and muscle, for example.
“In the United States there is both an autologous protocol [células do mesmo paciente] and, more immediately, using someone else’s allogeneic stem cells, “he adds.
Tatsui also warns that there is a risk of rejection, but that the stem cells used do not have to be fully compatible with the body. Among the benefits of this alternative method of regenerative medicine are even less pain, faster recovery, and a greater chance that the trauma will never recur at the treated site.
“On average, this treatment reduces recovery times by 30% to 40%,” he explains. “More than the reduction of time, it is not to harm again [a área]. The use of stem cells means that a better quality fabric is formed, because the athlete’s greatest fear is to cause the injury again, due to the fragility of the place “, defends Tatsui.
