An orthopaedic surgeon's practice with a Howell, Michigan office, offering injection treatments from the patient's own blood, marrow or fat, plus donor amniotic products and surgery.
This is the practice of Dr Diana R. Silas, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon who sees patients at two Michigan offices, and this entry covers the Howell office at 1225 South Latson Road, Suite 380, Howell, Michigan 48843; the other is in Novi, and both share the telephone number (248) 465-5141. The site carries the Motor City Orthopedics name alongside hers. Unlike most providers in this directory, this is a surgical practice first: injection treatments described as orthobiologics sit alongside arthroscopic surgery, joint preservation, shoulder replacement and fracture care, rather than replacing them.
The orthobiologics page sets out what is actually on offer: platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood by concentrating platelets and white cells), bone marrow aspirate concentrate taken from the patient's pelvis, fat tissue taken from the patient's own body and processed before injection, amniotic membrane and fluid products obtained from a donor after caesarean delivery, and cartilage transplantation using either the patient's own cartilage or donor cartilage. The site says platelet injections may be given in an outpatient procedure or at the time of repair surgery, and describes the aim as faster healing and in some cases delaying joint replacement — that is the practice's expectation rather than a guaranteed result.
A separate page on stem cell therapy is largely educational. It explains the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells, says adult cells can be taken from fat, bone marrow or peripheral blood, and singles out mesenchymal stem cells as those most often collected. It describes the bone marrow procedure concretely: a needle into the iliac crest of the pelvis, the sample spun in a machine for 10 to 15 minutes, then injection into the affected area under X-ray guidance, the whole thing taking under an hour. Usefully, the page is candid about limitations, acknowledging risks including infection and rare immune reactions and a general lack of data on long-term effects. It makes no claims about success rates.
Dr Diana R. Silas is described as a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with a sports medicine specialty. Her osteopathic medical degree was awarded in 2010, followed by an orthopaedic surgery residency at McLaren Oakland in Pontiac, Michigan, where the site says she was chief resident, and an orthopaedic sports fellowship at the University of Rochester in New York in 2015 to 2016. The site lists a primary hospital affiliation with Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital, part of the Detroit Medical Center, teaching roles with the Detroit Medical Center orthopaedic surgery residency and sports medicine fellowship and with the McLaren Oakland residency, and membership of several orthopaedic professional bodies. No other clinicians are named. The site publishes no prices, has an insurance page without detail, and does not state languages spoken or opening hours.
The conditions named are orthopaedic, with the injection treatments aimed mainly at cartilage, tendon and ligament problems and early arthritis.
The site says the practice uses the patient's own bone marrow, fat and blood platelets, and separately offers amniotic products which it states come from a donor after a caesarean delivery.
One surgeon is named across the site.
The Howell office at 1225 South Latson Road, Suite 380, Howell, Michigan 48843 is one of two the site lists, the other being in Novi, both on (248) 465-5141. The site gives no opening hours and no description of the premises. Because this is a surgical practice, operations would be carried out at a hospital or surgical centre rather than in the office; the site names a primary hospital affiliation with Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital in the Detroit Medical Center system, but does not say where any particular procedure takes place or whether marrow and blood are processed in the office. No accreditation or language information is given.
The site publishes no prices. It has an insurance page but no detail in the pages we read. Because this practice is surgical as well as injection-based, some care may be billed to insurance while the orthobiologic injections often are not; a patient should ask specifically which parts of a proposed treatment would be covered and what they would pay themselves.
