The Regenexx®-SD Bone Marrow Concentrate Procedure
Regenexx-SD is Bone Marrow Concentrate, which contains your own live stem cells. These repair cells from your own body live inside all of us in various tissues, poised to leap into action to repair damage as it occurs. As we age or have big injuries, we may not be able to recruit enough of these cells to the site to fully repair the area. The Regenexx-SD Procedure helps overcome this problem by harvesting bone marrow from an area of the back of the hip that contains a dense population of these important cells and then concentrating those cells before precisely injecting them into the injured area using advanced imaging guidance. The goal of the procedure is to reduce pain and improve function by promoting the body’s own ability to heal naturally. This patented bone marrow concentrate protocol can be used for a wide range of orthopedic conditions. Your Regenexx doctor will evaluate your condition and your imaging to determine whether a bone marrow concentrate or platelet-based treatment is the best option for your orthopedic condition.
Regenexx® Outcomes Database Separates Regenexx from So-Called Regenerative Clinics
As regenerative medicine has gained popularity over the last two decades, so-called “stem cell therapy clinics” have been popping up all over the country. The treatments offered from these kinds of clinics are often ineffective due to outdated technology, unqualified staff, and/or a lack of testing and research. Since 2005, Regenexx has set the bar and differentiated itself from these clinics through several distinct offerings including more advanced technology, treatments, expertise, and research methods.
The chart below summarizes the Regenexx Patient Registry, which tracks how patients rated their pain out of 10 before and one month after their Regenexx procedure. This chart includes outcomes for knee, hip, spine/back, and shoulder procedures and the questionnaire used to collect this data is the Numeric Pain Scale (NPS).
Patient Outcome Data
As you can see, there is no data available for so-called “stem-cell” clinics patient outcomes. Many of these clinics do not have the facilities or expertise to gain accurate insight into the effectiveness or validity of their offerings. On the other hand, Regenexx has over 15 years of research and data collected from patients who have undergone a Regenexx procedure. This collection of data has allowed us to do something no orthopedic surgeon is doing and no other provider has the resources to do: that is to give you a candidacy rating or likely outcome from a Regenexx procedure.
Below is another comparison chart that highlights the qualitative differences between Regenexx and these same kinds of so-called clinics:
