NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY & MEDICINE

The Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine was awarded to Drs. Gurdon and Yamanaka in 2012 for achieving the regress mature cells of living human beings into these pluripotent cells. These cells are known as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and are in their infancy as part of the landscape of orthopedic biologics.

Combining Treatment Elements

In addition to the mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells, the concentrate includes similar growth factors found in PRP as well as substances known as cytokines, which recruit more healing cells to the site. The concentrate is injected into the affected site under ultrasound-guidance to ensure accurate placement.

Common Uses

Bone marrow and fat aspirate are commonly used in degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis and cartilage defects. A retrospective study performed in 2014 by Centeno et al found significant improvements in pain and function at all follow-up intervals after treatment of 840 knees with osteoarthritis using bone marrow aspirate with fat grafting.

Same Day In-Office Procedure

Eliminating the risks or costs associated with anesthesia. Procedures are conveniently performed in a comfortable office setting. PRP procedures take less time in this setting.

Less Cost & Risk

Total knee replacement surgery costs between $56,000 and $58,000. Not including pre-operative costs for office visits,xrays, laboratory work, or the post-surgical costs for physical therapy which can average $2,500 to $4,500. This treatment is conservative, minimally invasive, able to be performed in patients with comorbid conditions.
