A Bozeman, Montana orthopaedic and sports medicine practice founded in 1997, offering surgery plus platelet rich plasma and other joint injections; no stem cell therapy is described.
Alpine Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is a private orthopaedic practice at 536 Cottonwood Road, Suite 100, Bozeman, Montana. The site states it has been providing orthopaedic care since 1997 and that its physicians are board certified and subspecialty fellowship trained. It shares a building with the Orthopedic Surgical Center of Montana, the same-day operating facility used by its surgeons.
The injection treatments the site describes are platelet rich plasma (PRP), corticosteroid injections, and hyaluronic acid knee injections using the branded products Durolane and Supartz for osteoarthritis. The platelet treatment is clearly described as autologous: a sample of the patient's blood is taken and processed in a device that separates the platelets and plasma from the other blood components, and injections may be given with real-time imaging guidance.
The site mentions stem cells only in explaining how platelet rich plasma is thought to work — it states that platelets recruit stem cells to the area and stimulate the growth of blood vessels. It does not offer stem cell therapy as a treatment, and no cell product, donor tissue or cell processing is described anywhere on the pages reviewed. A reader looking specifically for cell therapy should note that this practice does not appear to provide it.
Conditions listed for the platelet treatment include arthritis, sciatica, meniscus tears, rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee ligament injuries and muscle or tendon tears. The site gives no prices and does not state whether platelet injections are covered by insurance, which is usually the main cost question for treatments of this kind.
The site lists the following as treatable with its platelet injections.
The only biologic preparation the site describes is made from the patient's own blood; it does not offer a stem cell product.
The site describes its physicians as board certified and subspecialty fellowship trained; the named surgeons are those listed for the practice and its associated surgery centre.
The practice is at 536 Cottonwood Road, Suite 100, Bozeman, Montana 59718, in the same building as the Orthopedic Surgical Center of Montana, which provides same-day operating facilities. The site refers to real-time imaging guidance for injections, and lists physician assistants and nurse practitioners alongside the surgeons. It states no accreditation.
The site publishes no prices and makes no statement about insurance, including whether platelet rich plasma injections are covered, so this would need to be confirmed before treatment.
