  • Does Your Regenerative Medicine Clinic Give You Actual Data On Your PRP or Stem Cell Injection?

    Does Your Regenerative Medicine Clinic Give You Actual Data On Your PRP or Stem Cell Injection?

    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

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

    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.
