Avoid Hand Surgery with Regenexx

Hand and thumb osteoarthritis is the second most common type of arthritis. The constant swiveling and pivoting motions from writing, using a phone, and other daily activities cause the cartilage to wear out easily. While there are a number of surgical options, none have been shown in research to be effective and all come with significant risk of complications. The innovative Regenexx procedures preserve function and mobility and decrease pain without the need for surgery.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the damaged structures in your hand to tighten and stabilize your thumb joint for better function and mobility. Patients in our registry reported almost 50% improvement in function and reduction in pain on average. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.
