Zehr, M.D., for inclusion in its highly selective list of Regional Top Doctors this year. The 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctors list recognizes the top 7% of physicians nationwide.

RECOVERING from a Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) procedure

BMAC can be collected in the office setting, while you are awake, alert, and aware of the procedure. In this case, you would experience several days of low-level discomfort from both the harvesting site (pelvis) and the injection site (joint, tendon, muscle).

But in the most common cases, where the BMAC is collected during your operation, you are unlikely to be aware of the procedure. There will be a small punction wound in the iliac crest of your pelvis just behind the surgical incision. Recovery from the BMAC procedure would be inclusive of your total surgical recovery rather than a separate event.
