An orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine practice in Reno and Elko, Nevada, offering arthroscopic surgery alongside platelet and fat-derived tissue injections.
Active Sports Medicine is an orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine practice founded by a board certified orthopaedic surgeon and operating in Reno and Elko, Nevada, with outreach clinics listed for Sparks, Winnemucca and Battle Mountain. Unlike many providers in this directory, the practice is primarily a surgical one: arthroscopic and open orthopaedic surgery sit alongside the injection treatments, which are presented as options that may let a patient avoid or delay an operation.
On the regenerative side, the site names platelet rich plasma (PRP, concentrated from the patient's own blood) and Lipogems, a proprietary system in which a small amount of the patient's own fat is harvested, washed and filtered into a micro-fragmented tissue graft that is then injected. Both are autologous (from the patient's own body). The site also lists stem cell therapy as a service but does not explain, on the pages reviewed, what cells it would use or where they would come from — a gap a prospective patient should close by asking directly.
The directory's rough note describes amniotic membrane stem cell injections. That is not supported by the clinic's own pages, which point to the patient's own blood and fat instead, so anyone specifically seeking or specifically wishing to avoid donor tissue should confirm this at consultation.
The practice states that the surgeon has practised orthopaedic surgery in Reno and Elko since 1993 and served for ten years as team physician to the University of Nevada. The site also mentions an in-office handheld diagnostic camera used as an alternative to magnetic resonance imaging in some cases. No outcome figures are quoted and no prices are published.
The practice works across orthopaedic and sports injury problems, with injection treatment offered as one option within a surgical practice.
The site names platelet rich plasma from the patient's own blood and Lipogems micro-fragmented fat from the patient's own body; it also lists stem cell therapy without stating a cell source.
One surgeon is named as the practice's provider.
The practice runs clinics in Reno and Elko, Nevada, with the Reno office on Longley Lane, and lists outreach coverage for Sparks, Winnemucca and Battle Mountain. As a surgical practice, operations are carried out in hospital or surgical centre settings rather than in the office, while consultations, imaging with the handheld joint camera and injection treatments are described as office-based.
No prices are published and the site does not discuss cost, financing or whether the injection treatments are covered by insurance. Since platelet and fat-derived injections are commonly self-funded in the United States even within an insured surgical practice, a written quote should be requested.
