The integration of regenerative medicine and biomechanics represents a pivotal advancement in the management of complex trauma. This multicenter study conducted in Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador evaluated the combined effect of regenerative therapies—mesenchymal stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and bioengineered scaffolds—and biomechanical fixation systems on biological consolidation, mechanical stability, and functional recovery. A total of 240 patients with high-energy fractures were analyzed using standardized functional and radiological scales. Results demonstrated consistent improvement across all centers: radiological consolidation exceeded 88% at six months, biomechanical stability reached 90%, and functional recovery surpassed 90% in patients treated with combined regenerative-biomechanical protocols. Hybrid fixation systems exhibited superior stability compared with titanium and biodegradable constructs, while regenerative therapies enhanced osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix formation. The integration of biological stimulation with controlled mechanical loading accelerated tissue repair and reduced recovery time. Cross-country comparison revealed minimal variability, confirming the reproducibility and adaptability of these interventions across diverse clinical environments. These findings validate the concept of mechanoregeneration, where biological and mechanical factors act synergistically to optimize healing and restore function. The study supports the establishment of standardized regenerative-biomechanical protocols and collaborative regional networks for trauma care, highlighting their potential to improve outcomes and accessibility in middle-income settings.
