We congratulate an exceptional athlete who, after 6 years from his last world title, has returned as the best in speed skiing thanks in part to Prof. Tremolada and Lipogems technology.
Simone Origone, 39, has won the world title in speed skiing for the sixth time in his career. The athlete underwent Lipogems treatment to address knee pain. Following excellent results from the left knee procedure in 2017, Simone Origone repeated the Lipogems treatment on his other joint less than a year ago. In May 2018, he returned to Prof. Tremolada for Lipogems infiltration in his right knee. On March 23rd, he reclaimed his position as the undisputed king of his discipline, reaching a speed of 228.862 km/h.
The primary orthopedic indications for Lipogems treatment include degenerative processes of articular cartilage due to osteoarthritis, degeneration and inflammatory lesions of menisci and other peri-articular tendinous and ligamentous structures causing pain and limited joint functionality.
Advanced cases can significantly benefit from the infiltration, which presents an alternative to surgical intervention or prosthetic replacement. The entire procedure can be performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation. The duration is approximately one hour and requires no post-operative hospitalization.
Following adipose tissue harvesting and processing, articular infiltrations are immediately performed using standard technique or under ultrasound guidance to precisely identify target structures. Adipose tissue processed with Lipogems maintains intact mesenchymal cells and extracellular matrix, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.
