Biologic Injections (PRP, BMAC, and/or HA)

A Biologic Injection is a same-day, in-office procedure. Biologic Injections are available for any joint, for patients over age 60 and for patients who do not meet the BMI requirement for BAM surgery.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) - In addition to growth factors, BMAC also includes stem cells, the actual workers needed to perform the cartilage repair.
