Does PRP work for hand pain and wrist pain? Carpal Tunnel? De Quervain's? Yes!
Posted in: Platelet-Rich Plasma | Posted on: 30-Oct-2024 | No of views: 1111
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative medicine or orthobiologic injection that is made from a patient's own blood in the office.

There is a lot of ongoing research to determine what conditions PRP works best for and also to determine the best dose of this biologic "drug".

The good news is that we have enough research published to use PRP to help patients with many hand and wrist conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Previously, the main non surgical injection for these conditions was a steroid shot....which worked sometimes but also had other effects on the soft tissues that we would rather avoid! All of these injections are done in the office under ultrasound guidance so we can precisely place the injection.

Does Your Regenerative Medicine Clinic Give You Actual Data On Your PRP or Stem Cell Injection?
Posted in: Platelet-Rich Plasma | Posted on: 05-Aug-2024 | No of views: 1257
At Texas Orthobiologics we use a hematology machine to quantify the PRP doses and concentrations we are giving patients. We have an abundance of high level clinical data giving us dosing parameters (from hematology machines) for various orthopedic conditions. It isn't perfect but it is the best we can do in the office at the point of care. Likewise, getting a cell counter so we can determine a total nucleated cell count for a bone marrow concentrate(BMC) procedures make sense. But TNCC also has limitations.....TNCC doesn't directly correlate with the actual MSC or HSC count....but it is a good proxy same day metric for quantifying BMC procedures

Does PRP Help For Rotator Cuff Healing? Beware the
Posted in: Platelet-Rich Plasma | Posted on: 12-Apr-2024 | No of views: 2491
The title of this just published paper needs to be changed to:
"Low or no dose PRP does not change outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair"
I would agree with that!

Should we do PRP Injections for SLAP Lesions? Why? What is the goal?
Posted in: Platelet-Rich Plasma | Posted on: 29-Oct-2023 | No of views: 1985
With mounting registry data, we are able to tell patients and their families about how long a PRP injection might help with their SLAP lesion symptoms. We are trying to decrease their pain and improve their function. But surgery is still the gold standard for anyone who still has pain or dysfunction with a type 2 SLAP lesion.

How much does PRP cost for a knee injection? Here is the latest in the USA!
Posted in: Platelet-Rich Plasma | Posted on: 12-Oct-2023 | No of views: 800
* 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.

All PRP is NOT the SAME! Does your doctor know your PRP dose?
Posted in: Platelet-Rich Plasma | Posted on: 18-Aug-2023 | No of views: 535
At Texas Orthobiologics , we test every patient's blood and their PRP so we know what we are dosing patients with. Every doctor treating patients with a drug should know the dose of the drug they are giving to the patient, right? Yet, we know that very few clinics in Dallas, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Southlake, or Fort Worth actually have the machine necessary to be able to determine PRP dosing. A patient's response is determined in part by the PRP dose so if we don't know one huge piece of the puzzle, how are we supposed to counsel our patients?
