It’s great to see my all star patient @jkalen10 back to kicking but running miles on the trails in Atlanta preparing for her next marathon after her bone marrow stem cell treatment to her knee. She was told that she would never run again and needed to have a knee replacement! #keepup #orthopedics #regenerativemedicine #prp #stemcells #regenexx

Had the pleasure of draining 23 mLs of blood from the prepatellar bursa in a police officer recruit after mild trauma to the knee while training. We also put a little prolotherapy in the bursa to help calm down the negative inflammation. #keepup #orthopedics

Good find @the_dr_robo!! A new study showing that asymptotic patients (115 patients with no pain or symptoms) who got MRI of their knees and 97% had an abnormality present (meniscus tears, cartilage and bone swelling). Treat the patient and not the MRI for sure! #keepup #orthopedics

Great study published by my Colorado family in treating rotator cuff tears with bone marrow concentrate stem cells and PRP with platelet lysate. The trial compared stem cell therapy to exercise and showed for half of the patients (25 patients) at the 2 year mark, the cellular treatment group reported an 89% improvement. The complete study (for all 50 patients) will also have post treatment MRI results published as well for most of the patients also. Congrats on the publication @drugochi !! #keepup #prp #stemcells #regenerativemedicine #rotatorcuff #orthopedics #regenexx

Nicely done randomized trial (Level-1) comparing LP-PRP to hyaluronic acid and saline for mild to moderate knee arthritis, 87 knees were treated. Significant improvement in pain and function were only seen out to 12 months in the PRP group. They only used 1.8x PRP also, which was interesting. More evidence to support PRP as a treatment after for knee arthritis after conservative measures have failed. #keepup #orthopedics #prp #kneearthritis #kneepain #regenerativemedicine @njregenerativeinstitute @dr.markle @drugochi @otonosilvamd @flstemcelldocs @lovehealthdoc @the_dr_robo @stemcelldrpatel @socalstemcelldoc

New Year, new research study! Interesting study looking at how effective single versus multiple PRP injections for knee arthritis. They compared 5 studies done on 301 patients showing that single injections was just as effective as multiple injections (2 or 3) for pain reduction at 6 months. However, 3 injections were more effective at improving function of the knee! None of the studies were done exactly the same and used different versions of PRP, so definitely more research needs to be done on this topic. For now I will likely stick to single PRP injections for knee arthritis. #keepup #orthopedics #prp #regenerativemedicine #kneearthritis #kneepain @drugochi @otonosilvamd @stemcelldrpatel @socalstemcelldoc @lovehealthdoc @dr.markle @dr.akhan @njregenerativeinstitute @flregendoc
