Blogging from the Caymans Again!
A few times a year I head down to RegenexxCayman, an independently owned and operated clinic and lab that has licensed our advanced cultured stem cell procedure (which is not approved for use in the U.S.). This is to treat patients who we believe will benefit from more stem cells through culture. When I arrive…read more
An Ohio Stem Cell Knee Arthritis Treatment for a Michigan Doctor
Can we take a procedure that was invented in Colorado and have it work on a patient who is a Michigan physician, performed by a doctor in Ohio? One of the hallmarks of a good medical procedure is that it can be taught to others and that it works as well in their hands as it did…read more
How Many Stem Cell Patients Convert to Knee Replacement?
Most of the patients we see who want stem cell injections have been told that they need or will soon require a knee replacement. As a result, we’ve tracked knee replacement rates, after a precise injection of stem cells in our registry. So what percentage of Regenexx-SD stem cell patients convert to knee replacement after treatment…read more

If we were like every other little clinic popping up, using a simple, automated bedside centrifuge that poorly concentrates bone marrow stem cells,…read more
Using Big Data for Knee Stem Cell Research
“Big Data” has been all the rage in medicine in this past few years. The idea has both been embraced by and shaken up academic circles. We’ve been a big fan of big data and frequently use it to determine who are the best candidates for our knee stem cell procedure. The idea that data…read more
New 4 Year Knee Arthritis Stem Cell Treatment Research
What’s the latest in knee arthritis stem cell treatment research? Awhile back I published the pain/functional data for 2014. As you know, we publish data from our registry about once a year. Rather than sending a few questionnaires to patients, we have an advanced registry that tracks every patent treated. The most interesting thing about the…read more
2014 Stem Cell Registry Data-Knee Arthritis
Every year we publish updates to our registry data on-line. This fall we’ll be continuing that trend, adding data from almost another 1,000 patients to the mix. This morning I’d like to go over the pain and functional data for patients treated with the Regenexx-SD stem cell procedure for knee arthritis. First, it’s important to…read more
