Recently we had Doctors from many countries visit our center to observe procedures including ultrasound guided Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy injections. Thought leaders from Monaco, Spain, Phillipines, & Singapore visited prior to our PRP Seminar. It was a thrill to have so many bright minds together to advance our current understansding of regenerative medicine in orthopedics & sports medicine. Thanks to our patients for being so kind during their important visit.

More & more professional sports teams are integrating cutting edge technology to provide the best medical care possible to their patients. Today, Sonosite a manufacturer of handheld ultrasound announced that it’s technology will be exclusively utilized by the NBA.
We have treated NBA players who appreciate this technology because of the inconvenience of fitting a 7 foot plus body frame in a tube & the time delay required to get the study. Now, team doctors & trainers have a point of care option that can quickly access injuries & guide treatment in the locker room. For years elite European soccer clubs have utilized this technology on their players. What many people aren’t aware of is that we use this ultrasound in our practice; not just on professional athletes but also with the general population who suffer with pain. We find that patients enjoy the hands on interactive dynamic associated with ultrasound. Also because we use ultrasound to guide precise injections , patients report less pain. Studies have clearly documented that injections without ultrasound are often not where the physician believes they are, which adversely effects the outcome.

54 patients were treated with hip/buttock pain requiring a diagnosis of gluteal tendinosis (a chronic tendon injury rather than an acute injury tendinitis). The study from the American Journal of Roentgenology demonstrated seventy percent of patients were satisfied with the results of the intervention which included a ultrasound guided cortisone injection. Typically these injections are done blind without image guidance. However the physician may miss the target site and may simply be injecting fatty tissue or the incorrect muscle or tendon causing further damage or discomfort by hitting painful structures like bone or nerve. If patients have great relief from this guided cortisone injection, the proper disgnosis is determined & the patient may be a candidate for other injectables which may be less damaging like PRP or Traumeel etc.

While we are using cutting edge technology like musculoskeletal ultrasound to diagnose orthopedic injuries & guide PRP injections, Physicians used this equipment to save lives in Haiti. Through generous donations by Sonosite, Emergency Doctors & 
Anesthesiologists visited Haiti & treated patients with severe injuries.

We were thrilled to have Dr Alan Lazar an orthopaedic surgeon from Plantation Florida visit our LA center recently. Dr Lazar specializes in minimally invasive arthroscopy and uses PRP in the operating room to facilitate recovery naturally. Also he has been injecting PRP in many patients. Most interestingly, Dr Lazar is one of few doctors pioneering adult fat stem cell injections to potentially regenerate cartilage & reduce pain from osteoarthritis. Various doctors are combining adult stem cells with PRP to get maximum results. Best of luck to Dr Lazar and many thanks to our patients allowing him to observe PRP ultrasound guided procedures.

Shoulder Injection Ultrasound demonstration
Dr Steven Sampson was featured in a new iPhone application to teach Doctors across the world how to begin using ultrasound to enhance their practice. Ultrasound is used commonly in Europe, but suprisingly is only now seeing increased use. Ultrasound provides remarkable images of tendons and ligaments and soft tissue in some cases superior to MRI. Also Ultrasound is extremely cost effective compared to other imaging like MRI. Thus by utilizing state of the art technology our health care system could save millions of dollars. “Pioneer patients” are driving awareness to doctors who will have to meet the demand for more cutting edge treatents & imaging to help them recover and heal.
