Typical Recovery Time

Activity modification for 1 to 2 weeks is recommended. Most patients notice gradual improvement over 6 to 12 weeks.

Who Is This For?

Used for osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, cartilage defects, and partial ligament tears that have not responded to standard conservative treatment.

What to Expect

Bone marrow is harvested from the posterior iliac crest under local anesthesia. The sample is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the regenerative cells and the concentrate is injected into the target area under ultrasound guidance. The procedure takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.

Risks to Know

Risks include soreness at the harvest site, infection, and variable treatment response. Results depend on the condition treated and individual patient factors.
