Dr Steven Sampson Lectures in Palm Springs on PRP and tendon and cartilage treatments

Monday, June 14th, 2010 by Steven Sampson D.O.

I just returned from Palm Springs where I spoke at the 20th annual Practical applications in Sports medicine conference. There were over 200 in attendance which was terrific. The crowd made up mostly Athletic Trainers who work for universities, local schools & sports teams as well as Physical Therapists & Orthopedic Surgeons plus one cadaver.  There were a few interesting points of note.

  • There is a new phenemonon where kids are just playing one sport all year round rather than participating in tennis, football, baseball, & basketball over different seasons. This has created many repitive overuse injuries & is leading more childern to surgery & long term musculoskeletal injuries.
  • When I asked the room, how many people have heard of PRP, almost everyone raised their hand. Stark contrast to 4 yrs ago when I had to explain it to everyone, now patients come asking for an ultrasound or PRP injection.
  • Many cases of knee pain when there is a negative work up, the Hips must be evaluated further. I have seen where patients complain of lateral knee pain (from the ilio-tibial band) & we order a hip radiograph and discover severe hip arthritis.

NY Times article on cartilage repair using stem cells

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 by Steven Sampson D.O.

NY Times NY Times article on cartilage repair using stem cells

Mimicking Human Cartilage to Repair a Knee

According to the New York Times,  Orthomimetics,  developed a scaffold approved for use in Europe from a collaboration between  the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Cambridge.The scaffold is off the shelf & allows stem cells to be absored to regenerate cartilage.

My former colleague Bert Mandelbaum MD was quoted. This treatment may lower the expense typically involved and may be available to more patients because of less  preparation time.  This is just an example of the progress being made in cartilage repair. Ultimately I feel there will be a trend towards more injection based cartilage repair with less invasive surgery.  As technology is advancing with improved live imaging, doctors wont have to open up a joint or insert an obtrusive scope  to properly treat it.

Dr Steven Sampson publishes new Platelet Rich Plasma article

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 by Steven Sampson D.O.

current reviews Dr Steven Sampson publishes new Platelet Rich Plasma article

My PRP review article is now published in the Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine. http://www.springerlink.com/content/5708408818n30275/ The online version is available, and the printed version is coming soon. The article includes nearly 50 literature sources and provides a comprehensive overview regarding platelet rich plasma usage in orthopaedics and sports medicine. Also, the review discusses the promising realm of orthobiologics and describes experiences with using platelet rich plasma for cartilage disorders and osteoarthritis.

I have been conducting research on arthritis with encouraging results so far. I am planning on collaborating with other leading physicians and publishing many more articles to advance the field of orthobiologics.

Adult Stem Cells for Arthritis?

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 by Steven Sampson D.O.

stem cell1 Adult Stem Cells for Arthritis?Perhaps the next frontier beyond PRP is Stem Cells. While the topic is the subject of much controversy politically, technology now allows us to utilize adult stem cells opposed to embryonic cells to treat disease.

Stem Cells are the birthplace of platelets rich in healing properties, which can potentially program cells to regenerate tissue & cartilage. Currently stem cells can be retrieved via embryo (controversial in US), umbilical cord, bone marrow, peripheral blood, & in the near future adipose (fat) cells via liposuction.

Peripheral blood, or simply drawing blood from a patient’s arm is the least invasive & most promising method. Patients require a shot or medication to release stem cells from the marrow to the blood stream. It can then be processed & used for injection. In the future patients may have the option to store unused stem cells for future use as well.stem cells2 Adult Stem Cells for Arthritis?

Stem cells are being used in the US mostly for cancer patients to assist in recovery from the ill effects of chemotherapy. A few practitioners are using them orthopaedically with reportedly good results in arthritis. Internationally there are centers where patients seek alternative treatment to serious diseases like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and ALS.

There is an adult stem cell organization which lists numerous articles & personal stories.

New Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) review article for tendon injuries and arthritis

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 by Steven Sampson D.O.

painmanagement New Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) review article for tendon injuries and arthritis

In a Jan/Feb 08 issue of Practical Pain Management, the authors describe PRP use in tendon injuries, spine conditions, as well as hip & knee arthritis. The article emphasizes a need for agreed upon nomenclature.

An interesting concept addressed is whether a gel matrix is needed for the platelets to adhere to the target site. Because of their structure tendons & ligaments may not require the gel, however it is not known if adding calcium chloride with thrombin to the PRP is needed in joint spaces like knee & hip arthritis. Further data needs to compare the usage with gel versus without.

The article showed x-rays post prp injection with subtle smoothing of a previously arthritic femoral head (hip bone). It is not clearly known how PRP acts on arthritis, however a particular growth factor found in PRP, TGF-B has been linked to cartilage growth (chondrogenesis). Furthermore, another study showed that PRP influences hyauloronic acid production which balances cell proliferation (angiogenesis). Also, the authors suggested a possible role in serotonin decreasing pain. Lastly, utilizing “stem cells” (the birth place of platelets and their precursors)may offer the most ultimate potential.

Platelet Rich Plasma Cartilage/Arthritis Study in Rabbits

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007 by Steven Sampson D.O.

abcd Platelet Rich Plasma Cartilage/Arthritis Study in Rabbits

In a recent study from October 2007, a group from China was the first to document platelet rich plasma’s ability to support chondrogenesis (cartilage cell growth). They took cartilage from the rabbit’s ear, & mixed it with PRP and calcium chloride & thrombin (to form a matrix). Two months later, hard knobbles were found and seen on MRI, as well as histological analysis (cellular) and staining confirmed cartilage growth. Interestingly, there was no cartilage growth with the control group that received PRP alone. This study demonstrated successful formation of new cartilage with an injectable graft using PRP and cultured chondrocytes.
