Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week: Stem cell therapy for knee arthritis STILL WORKING 7.5 years later!

Cecilia presented with bilateral knee arthritis pain in 2018. Pain with standing, bending, and squatting. X-rays at the time revealed moderate arthritis with joint space loss in the medial aspect of both knee joints with spurring. After discussing treatment options, she decided to have adipose stem cell treatment. Within three months, her pain had completely resolved. She has remained pain-free this entire time. I saw her today for a different issue. She remains pain-free. X-rays of her knees today revealed that her joint space narrowing has not advanced since her stem cell treatment. She has no pain with normal activities throughout the day. Her knee arthritis does not limit her activities at all.

Regenerative orthopedic case of the week: Shockwave treatment for persistent Achilles pain after surgical repair. 

Megan is a 36-year-old female who ruptured her Achilles tendon playing pickleball 4 months ago. She underwent surgical repair within a week. One month into her recovery, she developed an open wound over the incision secondary to suture rejection. Ultimately, she developed notable scar tissue in the region and loss of motion with increased pain. Despite physical therapy, she has had persistent loss of motion and pain with weight-bearing activities and continued to walk with a limp. Her surgeon referred the patient to consider shockwave treatment. Shockwave is a noninvasive treatment that stimulates blood flow, stem cell function and regenerative capability. Today, after four weekly sessions of shockwave treatment, her pain symptoms have improved 70%. Her range of motion is almost completely normal and she is now walking without limp.

Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week:

CG is a 54 year female avid pickleball player who plays 6 days a week. Four months ago, she developed gradually progressive right lateral elbow pain with play. Despite the pain, she has continued to play and the pain is increasing. Sharp and aching pain with grasping, twisting, lifting and especially pickleball. She has tried some physical therapy and dry needling without notable improvement. On exam, she has significant tenderness about the lateral elbow, pain with resisted extension of the wrist and twisting the forearm (supination). Xrays are negative. Ultrasound shows significant area of tendonitis with suspected tear. After discussing treatment options, she decided to have Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment today. During procedure, as I injected numbing medicine into the tendon, the suspected tear became obviously visible. You can actually see the tendon separation from the bone! These tears are often not visible until placed under injection pressure.

PRP is a very successful treatment for tennis elbow even with partial tears. Improvement does not happen over night. Tendon healing can take 10-12 weeks or longer. Given the significance of CG's injury, she may require a second PRP treatment. I do expect that she will be able to return to her previous level of pickleball without surgery.

Yesterday my Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would. It wasn’t a story book ending or a fairy tail, it was just life. I dared to dream and had worked so hard to achieve it. Because in Downhill ski racing the difference between a strategic line and a catastrophic injury can be as sm...

Who thinks the only effective treatment for this knee is a total knee replacement???

Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week:
Severe Bone-on-Bone arthritis 90% better 3 months after stem cell therapy.

MZ is a 63 year old female with 5 year history of progressive right knee pain. Constant, dull aching pain with weight bearing activities that increases with getting up from a chair and standing. No prior treatment. After discussing treatment options in detail, patient decided to proceed with a regenerative treatment with adipose derived stem cells harvested from her fat tissue. Today, three months out from treatment, her pain symptoms have improved 90% (from 10/10 down to 1) and her function score has improved 84%. She has been able to increase her activity level and is having minimal occasional difficulties.

Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week:
PRP for Quadriceps tendon partial tear.

JJ is a 72 year male with right knee pain. Pain developed after sudden change in direction playing pickleball 7 months ago. Dull, aching anterior knee pain with stairs, squatting, lunging and getting up from a chair. Had to stop pickleball due to pain. Minimal improvement with 6 wks of physical therapy and 5 rounds of shockwave. MRI imaging revealed 40% partial-thickness tear of the quadriceps tendon. On MRI, normal tendon is black, the bright area is the tear. After discussing treatment options, he decided to have PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection treatment. Today, 3 months out from treatment, he is 95% better and back to pickleball without pain symptoms. Only having minimal pain with deep squats and ladders.
