Orthopedic case of the week:
Sternoclavicular (SC) joint injection.

34 year old with 4 years of chronic SC joint pain after fall jamming her shoulder. Previously treated with long term home exercise program (she’s a physical therapist). She presented 10 months ago with progressive pain and unable to do any presssing exercises at the gym. I performed a steroid injection into the SC joint which provided 💯% complete relief. Pain symptoms returned 2 months ago. She presented today requesting repeat injection.

The clavicle is the bright line middle of the screen on the left. The manubrium of the sternum is on the right. The dark SC joint is in the middle of the screen. You can see the needle (white circle) coming in and out of the image as I inject. You can see the fluid filling the joint just left of the needle. As there are vital structures immediately deep to this joint, this is a risky procedure and should not be attempted by practitioners without notable guided injection skill. I have been performing ultrasound guided injections since 2009.

If her pain returns again, we will switch to PRP.

Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week:
How long can Stem Cell treatment for knee arthritis last?

LS came to see me in 2017 for bilateral knee pain. She had moderate pain with walking, standing and getting up from a chair. Steroid injection and physical therapy provided minimal relief. Xrays showed mild arthritis with chondrocalcinosis (calcium deposits in the meniscus). After discussing options, she decided to proceed with stem cell treatment for both knees. Within 3 months, her pain was gone! She has been pain free up until about a year ago when her pain gradually returned. Now, almost 8 years after stem cell, she is desiring to repeat the treatment. Amazingly, her Xrays show no significant advancement of her arthritis.

Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week:
Want to avoid a knee replacement??

JK is a 69 year old male with right knee arthritis pain for over a year. Dull, aching pain that increases with walking, hiking, stairs, squatting. Pain is 5/10 with typical, daily activities. Xray shows significant joint space loss on the inner (medial) portion of the joint. After discussing treatment options, he decided to proceed with stem cell treatment using cells from his own fat tissue. Today, 3 months out from treatment, his pain is completely gone. Zero pain! Last week, he went hunting in New Mexico and averaged hiking 20000 steps daily without any pain in his knees.

High-dose PRP (platelet rich plasma) is an effective treatment for tendonitis. This is a simple, in-office procedure injecting platelets from your blood precisely into damaged tendon using ultrasound guidance.

Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week:

Bernice is a 74 year old female with a few years of bilateral knee pain, worse in her left knee. She complains of sharp and aching pain especially on the inside of her left knee. Pain increases with walking, standing and at night. Left knee swells and causes her to limp. Three rounds of steroid injections have not helped. Xray and MRI imaging reveal moderate left knee arthritis along with tearing of the medial meniscus and some arthritic swelling in the bones of the knee. After discussing treatment options, she decided to proceed with regenerative treatment using stem cells from her own fat tissue injected into her knee and concentrated platelets from her blood (PRP) injected into her knee bones (she was asleep for that). Now, 3 months out from treatment, she is 98% better and describes the treatment as a 'Life-changing event!"

Finally, some longer term data on Stem Cell Therapy for knee arthritis. In the 4 years following adipose stem cell treatment for arthritis, two-thirds of all patients did not require any other treatment for their knee pain. VAS pain scores were still 44% better than baseline at 4 years.

Background Adipose tissue-derived stem cells are an interesting therapeutic option for early knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment due to their high plasticity, easiness of harvesting and rapidity of administration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the medium-term effectiveness and safety of Micro...

JH is a 61 year old female with 6 months of left foot big toe pain. She does not remember any trauma to the foot. Pain at the big toe with walking, dancing and stair climbing. X-rays show notable arthritis of the big toe joint. MRI shows big toe joint arthritis along with swelling and inflammation inside the bone from the arthritis. After discussing options, she decided to proceed with regenerative PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections to the joint and into the areas of damaged bone.
