Do NOT Do IV Stem Cells! Why? Read Below.....
Posted on: 28-Oct-2023 | No of views: 921
Cells get trapped in the lung as the vascular tree gets smaller. This "first pass" effect is not a new discovery....it is known human biology for at least 35 - 40 years if not longer. With regards to any cellular therapy.....there have been lots of publications documenting the 95+ % first pass effect in which cells injected IV are trapped in the lungs....they don't make it back to your knee....they don't go to your spine....they stay in your lungs....so if you have a lung problem that really is the only reason to pay for an IV stem cell injection (once there is evidence that it a good treatment...) Anyone selling IV stem cells in regenerative medicine is a fraud at this point.

We test and know the dose of every PRP injection we do. All patients, Every day!

We have invested in an in-office hematology machine...about a $12,000 piece of equipment...because it is the standard of care for analyzing blood samples and determining the Platelet Rich Plasma doses we are giving to patients. We want to know the dose of the drug that is effective and patients paying for these procedures deserve to know the dose they are paying for. Simple!

Yet less than 5% of doctors doing these procedures have a hematology machine on-site to get these answers where the procedure is happening.

How much does PRP cost for a knee injection? Here is the latest in the USA!

* What is the average price for a knee #PRP injection at the top 25 US Hospitals?*
The average is $800 per injection.
But how many platelets are in that injection? We have an average price but we don't know how many platelets that is buying. As a result the conclusion misses out on some critical price factors that must be considered by doctors and patients alike when choosing PRP companies, following dosing protocols, and pricing the PRP for patients.
Let me explain.
Single Price does not equal the total cost to the patient.
Would you rather have 3 injections for $800 each or 1 injection for $1800 if the results were the same? Right.

Do you have hip pain? Avascular Necrosis of the Hip? Regenerative Medicine for Hip Pain.
Posted on: 29-Sep-2023 | No of views: 532
Yesterday I got a chance to help someone with Ficat stage 2 AVN of the hip. The regenerative medicine treatment option with bone marrow concentrate injection is the state of the art. Replacing avascular bone marrow with healthy concentrated bone marrow from the iliac crest makes biologic and common sense. And has the data to back it up.

Posted on: 28-Aug-2023 | No of views: 526
Texas Orthobiologics is going back to Mexico! I get to give 3 of my favorite talks at the 2nd International Conference on Regenerative Orthopedics in the city of Queretaro. Talk #1: Patient candidacy and clinical decisionmaking ....maybe the most important...knowing how to personalize care and properly inform patients of their options. Talk #2: Platelet Dosing for Knee and Shoulder Conditions....a review of the current dosing date to get the best clinical results...along with pearls on how to evaluate regenerative medicine papers Talk #3: 10 Common MSKUS Guided Injections....bread and butter stuff for a orthopedic surgeon or orthopedist doing injections! I learn as much as I teach at these international meetings. Can't wait to see what I can bring back to my patients after this meeting!
