Can a stem cell (bone marrow concentrate) injection outperform a PRP injection in the small joints of the hand/wrist?
It's a question I often get asked.....with such a small volume injection is there still a potential benefit of doing BMC over PRP?
Well, this surgeon had PRP before we met 3 years ago and he did feel PRP worked better and lasted longer than steroid. Then we met and he wanted to try BMC. Fast forward 3 years and he has done significantly better ...about 3x longer benefit.... with BMC versus PRP.
I get that this is a case study and a patient testimonial...but it is still true and something to consider when advising patients about the potential outcomes of out orthobiologic options!
