The New York practice of Benedict Nwachukwu, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery, offering joint surgery plus bone marrow and platelet injections.
This is the practice website of Dr Benedict Nwachukwu, an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in the hip, knee and shoulder, who practises within the Sports Medicine Institute at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The site is a surgeon's practice page rather than a dedicated stem cell clinic, and most of its content concerns arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery.
The regenerative element listed is biologic injection: bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC, a preparation spun down from marrow drawn from the patient's own pelvis) and platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood). Both are autologous, meaning they come from the patient's own body. The site presents these as options within orthopaedic care rather than as a standalone programme, and makes no outcome claims for them.
Surgical services listed include hip, knee and shoulder arthroscopy, reconstruction and repair of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), labral repair and reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, meniscus repair, cartilage restoration and shoulder stabilisation. Conditions named span hip impingement, labral tears, hip dysplasia, arthritis and bursitis; knee ligament and meniscus injuries and cartilage damage; and rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, impingement and frozen shoulder.
The surgeon's credentials are set out in detail on the site: board certification in orthopaedic surgery, Co-Director of Clinical Research at the Sports Medicine Institute at Hospital for Special Surgery, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, residency at Hospital for Special Surgery and a sports medicine fellowship at Rush University, together with roles as a team physician for the New York Red Bulls and as a medical consultant to the National Basketball Players Association. No prices are published.
The site organises its conditions by joint, covering the hip, knee and shoulder.
The site lists bone marrow aspirate concentrate and platelet rich plasma as biologic options, both prepared from the patient's own tissue on the day.
The site covers one surgeon.
Appointments are offered at three locations: 610 West 58th Street, New York, New York 10019 in Manhattan; 148 39th Street, 7th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11232; and 15 East Midland Avenue, Suite 1A, Paramus, New Jersey 07652. These are Hospital for Special Surgery sites rather than an independent clinic, so patients are treated within a large specialist orthopaedic hospital system with its own imaging and operating facilities. The general appointment number given is 646-885-8250. The site does not describe a separate cell-processing laboratory, which is consistent with biologics being prepared at the point of care.
The site publishes no prices and says nothing about the cost of bone marrow aspirate concentrate or platelet rich plasma injections, or whether they are covered by insurance. As biologic injections are often not reimbursed even when surgery is, this is worth confirming with the office.
