What Does an Advanced Knee Treatment with Orthobiologics Look Like?

By
Published on

All too often these days, someone with knee pain ends up at a clinic where they blindly inject something into the joint. However, real advanced orthobiologics care using PRP or stem cells involves placing these substances precisely in various parts of the knee. Let’s review of few of those spots:

  • Intra-articular or inside the joint
  • Intra-osseous or inside the bone
  • Into lax ligaments
  • Inside a damaged meniscus
  • Into frayed or damaged tendons

To get to these precise locations, imaging guidance in the form of ultrasound and/or fluoroscopy (real-time x-ray guidance) is needed.

If you or someone you know is thinking of getting their knee injected, make sure that the clinic has the training to be able to inject all of these spots. If not, then find a Regenexx clinic near you!
