More & More Clinics beginning to offer Platelet Rich Plasma Injection Therapy

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

dBusiness news announced that an Atlanta clinic is now beginning to offer PRP injections. Dr Steven Sampson was referenced in the article describing the science behind PRP.

More & more clinics in the US & Abroad are offering biologic based treatments to naturally accelerate the healing process. We have been performing PRP injections for nearly 4 years now, with encouraging results. However hopefully many of these clinics performing PRP procedures will publish literature so that we can all learn together which particular injuries may respond best. Currently many organizations are working on a clinical guidlineson PRP in efforts of creating a standard to adhere by. Unfortunately there is great variability with platelet concentrations, injection technique with & without guidance of ultrasound or x-ray and frequency of treatment & combination with other therapies synvisc/supartz, Traumeel etc.

We are now offering a training seminar to encourage research & proper training in platelet Rich Plasma therapy.

Dr Steven Sampson Visits Dr Neal Elattrache to observe surgical procedures

Monday, June 21st, 2010

dodgers Dr Steven Sampson recently observed state of the art surgical procedures with Neal ElAttrache MD in Los Angeles, CA. Dr ElAttrache is a renowned Orthopedic surgeon & Dodgers team doctor, who performs minimally invasive arthroscopy of the shoulder, elbow & knee. I observed a knee ACL tear autograft procedure, where the patients own patellar (knee tendon) was removed & was later inserted and screwed deep in the knee for the torn ACL.

Dr. ElAttrache has authored 32 textbooks and 60 journal publications, filmed 10 orthopedic instructional videos, and has been a facilitator for over 240 lectures.

Dr ElAttrache emphasizes that younger patients have a better success rate using their own tendon Vs cadaver graft (allograft). Afterwards I saw a rotator cuff repair which was very impressive. Dr ElAttrache pioneered a technique which has revolutionized rotator cuff repair around the world with a more durable suturing protocol.

We hope to visit other pioneering & leading physicians around the world to enhance our comprehensive care.

Two patients from Orthohealing Center in Ivanhoe Breakthrough Report on national Television with PRP Platelet Rich Plasma

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Ivanhoe featured the Orthohealing Center & two of our patients in a recent story on Platelet Rich Plasma. One patient is a Karate instructor who suffered multiple tendon injuries from holding up sparring pads. Another patient, an avid runner developed knee arthritis. Both received PRP & had their subsequent injections filmed by Ivanhoe. It’s great for the community to see that most of the patients we treat are not world class athletes and most are just active individuals who get injuries from exercise or from occupation.

Ivanhoe is the country’s largest news-gathering organization covering medical breakthroughs, family health and issues important to women. Ivanhoe’s reports are broadcast in 250 markets reaching 80 million U.S. households.

Once again the increased awareness hopefully will create more interest in the community & drive further research which is needed to determine which particular patients & their diagnoses will improve best from this early generation of regenerative medicine. Soon we expect more stories to emerge on adult stem cell therapy in orthopaedics which is starting to see increased use in the US.
