Stem Cells

Stem cells are unique cells that have the ability to rebuild and regenerate joint damage in the body including damage from osteoarthritis. The foundation cells for every organ and tissue in the body, stem cells continue to self-renew throughout your lifetime.

The Arthrex Angel System is a proprietary system used to concentrate bone marrow that allows customization of platelet and white blood cell concentrations.

Non-surgical conditions such as tendonitis, small rotator cuff tears, ligament sprains, plantar fasciitis are expected to heal with reduction of symptoms by 75% within 8 weeks. Those with less severe tissue damage will heal faster. Patients that do not experience a 75% improvement at 8 weeks may require a PRP injection to reactivate the healing response.

Patients with arthritis and chondromalacia are also expected to have 75% symptom reduction by 8 weeks. There have been some reports that the x-rays can actually show improvement but this can take up to a year.

While extremely beneficial to patients, relatively few orthopedic surgeons offer stem cell injections. Many people travel to large cities like Miami or New York for the treatment and can expect to pay $7,500 or more, not including the cost of the travel. In Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Goradia and Dr. Budny with G2 offer stem cell injections for less than half the cost.

Insurance plans dont cover the cost of stem cell injections, but patients can use FSA funds for full payment. Do to the cost of the supplies needed for these injections, full payment is required at the time of surgery.
