Ortho+Biologics Is...
Ortho + Biologics is:
- A treatment aimed at restoring joint function by harnessing the natural healing processes of the body.
- Your own Cell-based “Cell-based” & Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)
- Allograft cord blood/placental products - under study
- Ideal for knee, shoulder & hip joint cartilage applications, elbow & ankle tendonitis
- In conjunction with or instead of surgery for joint pain, injury, arthritis
- Best applied to the patient with a systematic, innovative & data-driven approach by an orthopedic musculoskeletal specialist, not just as pain management.
Ortho + Biologics is not:
- A “cure-all” for joint pain and stiffness; restoration of long-term function is the goal of treatment.
- A way to fully “regenerate” worn-out joints in the mature athlete, at least not in its present form. This will happen!
- Routinely recognized by health insurance, especially the injections, and therefore not reimbursed. We offer fair, cost-effective pricing.

Proximal ACL Tear Repair of the Knee, Utilizing Cellular Therapy ("Stem Cell")
A ski injury that tears the anterior cruciate ligament is often right off of the femur/notch, allowing direct repair (vs. full reconstruction w/ a graft).
Shorter rehab, quicker recovery, and often re-inforced with the Artelon flexgraft.
