This will be my 19th year in a row teaching at the San Diego Shoulder Meeting…every since fellowship at SCOI. Most don’t get to see all of the behind the scenes work that goes into producing the largest(about 500 surgeons), longest running (35 yrs), international shoulder meeting on earth. Here are a couple pre-game pics. This year I am doing a focus demonstration for the general assembly, Director of an Alex Shoulder Model Lab, and one of the EPIC one-on-one shoulder instructors in cadaver lab.

Top 7 reasons to concentrate a bone marrow aspiration to make a better orthobiologic
Posted on: 24-Jul-2018 | No of views: 2463
I have been asked many times about my thoughts on concentrating bone marrow versus just using a straight bone marrow aspiration. Currently, there is at least one needle device on the market, Marrow Cellutions, which markets their device as a bone marrow aspiration device that eliminates the need for centrifuging bone marrow to create bone marrow concentrate.

The Doctor or Chiropractor Said I Am Going to Grow New Cartilage
Posted in: General Info | Posted on: 23-Jul-2018 | No of views: 1734
Sadly,not true. At least not the way it is presented to people at seminars as a sales tactic to separate people from their hard earned money. A simple 5 degree xray tilt will make an xray change to look as if new cartilage has grown….that is what these clinics and people are showing potential patients who are interested in regenerative medicine procedures….and these clinics usually compound the deceit by telling patients they can get living stem cells from amniotic fluid or umbilical cord blood.

Give someone a blood clot to treat their knee pain???
Posted in: General Info | Posted on: 25-Jun-2018 | No of views: 1857
Block an artery to decrease knee arthritis pain?? I am just not convinced that a patient with knee arthritis should be advised to have their geniculate artery clotted (embolized) in an interventional radiology suite…with an expected 6 months of partial pain relief. This write up discusses a very small pilot study with no statistical significance….but my question is whether we should even be pursuing this idea when we have an alternative that is autologous, safe, and can be done at a lower cost in the doctor’s office, and lasts 9-12 months…….PRP!

Why the FDA Recognizes Bone Marrow As The Best Source For Stem Cells
Posted in: Legal Issues With Regenerative Medicine (USA) | Posted on: 21-Jun-2018 | No of views: 1953
Ok, just kidding, FDA doesn’t endorse any stem cell sources….BUT the FDA doesn’t regulate bone marrow as a stem cell source when used in orthopedics and they DO regulate adipose(fat), amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood, placental tissues, and other stem cell sources used in orthopedics as biologic drugs. So, stick with the one source that is given the “top-line” exemption for use by the FDA. Here is a 15 minute video on why the FDA doesn’t regulate bone marrow in orthopedics.

10 years of hip pain treated with a single in office injection of PRP!
Posted in: Hip | Posted on: 18-Jun-2018 | No of views: 2140
First off, results vary But what a great response our patient had in this testimonial! She had multiple steroid shots and medications over the past 10 years for intractable hip region pain. As a last resort before surgery, her hip surgeon sent her our way. We diagnosed gluteus medius and minimus tendinopathy with ultrasound on the same day in the office and on the same day did a LP-PRP injection after drawing 60cc of blood from her to make the PRP injection. Her words cannot be improved upon so we will let her tell her result! More and more clinicians are trying orthobiologics instead of steroids or pain meds….no need to wait 10 years!
