Degenerative arthritis also referred to Osteoarthritis of the knee is a painful, sometimes debilitating inflammation at the site where the thigh and leg bones meet. This disease also referred to as Osteoarthritis of the Knee. Furthermore, there is a cumulative effect of the ongoing deterioration of the cartilage between these bones.
Arthritis is extremely common, affecting 27 million in the US and is the single largest cause of disability in the elderly population. There is no cure for it but treatment is aimed to reduce the symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
Treatment for arthritis usually consist of modalities to reduce the inflammation, improve the muscles strength around the knee. In addition, injections of steroids or viscosupplementation/gel injections can help with pain. When traditional conservative therapy fails to provide relief, total knee replacement is recommended.
In the last couple of years, PRP and Mesenchymal Stem Cells have been shown through extensive research to be a great treatment option. At the same time this options can decrease pain and improve patients’ functions, providing another alterative to knee replacement.
In our practice , we have seen similar results as those described by Dr. Smith in his FDA regulated study. Surprisingly this study showed close to 80% improvement when patient where injected with of PRP (FDA study reference).
It is important to note that some PRP preparation have actually showed to be harmful to the knee and not helped arthritis. We now know that not all PRP are created equal.
Recent studies with over 1420 patient showed that PRP was a safer and better options that other injections like saline , HA, ozone, and corticosteroids and provides patient with another option before knee replacement. (PRP study reference)
Treatment gap is when a patient has failed all conservative non-surgical treatments , continues with limitations and pain but are not ready for surgery. This is extremely common when it comes to osteoarthritis. Subsequently two out of three surgeon believes that we have a treatment gap in early Osteoarthritis.
To learn more about the treatment Gap. Check out our short video by Dr. Gonzalez explaining the treatment gap in orthopedics.
Although Mesenchymal Stem cell are new procedures. Subsequently there is still a lot of research that must be done to fully understand these cells. We have seen very promising results and positive outcomes. Accordingly to general studies as well as in our practice. We have seen similar outcomes as those reported by a recent study. Moreover they showed evidence of meniscus regeneration and improvement in knee pain and function. Following treatment with human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. (Mesenchymal Cells test results)
We have also demonstrated that Mesenchymal Stem Cell injection are a superior injection when compared to other injections like steroids and gel injections.
IROSM was created to provide cutting-edge, remarkable Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine Procedures within a, patient-centered experience. The Board-Certified Physicians, at IROSM are extremely experienced in successfully treating knee arthritis. Our doctors have extensive experience in precisely treating knee arthritis using cutting-edge precision guided imaging technology. Our amazing physicians always make sure to put the patient’s needs first in a complete patient-centered process, that includes an in-depth consultation with a medical doctor, and continuous check-ups even after the treatment with personalized physical therapy protocols and booster treatments if needed.
IROSM Regenerative Medicine Protocols
– Our Board-Certified doctors will evaluate your case, personally reviews your X-rays, MRIs, labs work, and all medical records to determine the best treatment plan.
– The proprietary protocols at IROSM allow us to collect high quantities of viable Mesenchymal Progenitor Stem Cells, growth factors, and other cytokines that promote a Bio-repair response. The cellular collections process is a minimally invasive office procedure done the day of your treatment. At our facility, we only collect patients’ own(autologous) regenerative cells.
– The cellular processing and concentration are done inside of our “Advanced Regenerative Lab(ARL)”. Whether we are concentrating our “Hyper PRP”, Bone Marrow, or Adipose(fat) reparative cells, our trained physicians and staff can greatly concentrate and purify our regenerative medicine preparation. Inside the ARL, we can fully customize our cellular treatment tailored to the individual patient and their specific problem.
4. Cellular Implantation/Injections
– After the cells are collected and processed, our physician will reimplant the Regenerative Cells into the patient’s problem. Whether is a torn meniscus, degenerated arthritis joint, torn rotator cuff, or any other orthopedic problem. Our highly trained doctors will use advanced Ultrasound or X-rays to accurately reimplant the cells into the problem area, using image guidance grantees proper placement.
– After the procedure, a personalized rehabilitation process will commence maximizing the recovery of our patients. Our physicians will guide our patients throughout the full rehabilitation process.
