We test and know the dose of every PRP injection we do. All patients, Every day!

We have invested in an in-office hematology machine...about a $12,000 piece of equipment...because it is the standard of care for analyzing blood samples and determining the Platelet Rich Plasma doses we are giving to patients. We want to know the dose of the drug that is effective and patients paying for these procedures deserve to know the dose they are paying for. Simple!

Yet less than 5% of doctors doing these procedures have a hematology machine on-site to get these answers where the procedure is happening.

How much does PRP cost for a knee injection? Here is the latest in the USA!

* What is the average price for a knee #PRP injection at the top 25 US Hospitals?*
The average is $800 per injection.
But how many platelets are in that injection? We have an average price but we don't know how many platelets that is buying. As a result the conclusion misses out on some critical price factors that must be considered by doctors and patients alike when choosing PRP companies, following dosing protocols, and pricing the PRP for patients.
Let me explain.
Single Price does not equal the total cost to the patient.
Would you rather have 3 injections for $800 each or 1 injection for $1800 if the results were the same? Right.

Do you have hip pain? Avascular Necrosis of the Hip? Regenerative Medicine for Hip Pain.

Yesterday I got a chance to help someone with Ficat stage 2 AVN of the hip. The regenerative medicine treatment option with bone marrow concentrate injection is the state of the art. Replacing avascular bone marrow with healthy concentrated bone marrow from the iliac crest makes biologic and common sense. And has the data to back it up.

Posted on: 28-Aug-2023 | No. of views: 853
Texas Orthobiologics is going back to Mexico! I get to give 3 of my favorite talks at the 2nd International Conference on Regenerative Orthopedics in the city of Queretaro. Talk #1: Patient candidacy and clinical decisionmaking ....maybe the most important...knowing how to personalize care and properly inform patients of their options. Talk #2: Platelet Dosing for Knee and Shoulder Conditions....a review of the current dosing date to get the best clinical results...along with pearls on how to evaluate regenerative medicine papers Talk #3: 10 Common MSKUS Guided Injections....bread and butter stuff for a orthopedic surgeon or orthopedist doing injections! I learn as much as I teach at these international meetings. Can't wait to see what I can bring back to my patients after this meeting!

I am currently a freshman serving a 3 year term on the AANA Board of Directors (AANA Website)

We just finished our summer meeting at the amazing Hythe Hotel in Vail.

What a fantastic group!

AANA is filled with so many talented and kind and humble people that happen to be orthopedic surgeons!

Many thanks to the executive team for putting together a fantastic Board of Directors weekend.

JT Tokish, MD, current president, is continuing to innovate and push the organization into the future!

With so many innovators in one room, I always learn something. It only helps our Texas Orthobiologics patients....we hear things "hot of the press" and even some ideas in "pre-production"!
