An Alaskan orthopaedic surgeon specialising in shoulder, elbow, knee and hip sports injuries; no stem cell or platelet treatment is described on his website.
Dr Benjamin Packard runs an orthopaedic surgery practice in Alaska with offices in Anchorage and Wasilla. His stated specialty is sports medicine, covering surgical and non-surgical treatment of injuries to the shoulder, elbow, knee and hip. The site says he treats active people at every level, from people who exercise at weekends to competitive athletes.
The procedures listed are largely operative. For the shoulder these include rotator cuff repair, labral repair and the Latarjet procedure for shoulder instability. For the knee they include reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus repair, meniscus transplantation and surgery to the kneecap joint. For the elbow they include arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction and the operation commonly known as Tommy John surgery. Hip work includes hip preservation surgery and labral repair, and he also performs cartilage restoration and osteotomies, which reshape bone to change how load passes through a joint.
Anyone searching specifically for regenerative treatment should note that this website does not mention stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate or any other biologic injection, and names no cell source. The site also does not set out a list of diagnoses treated, describing instead body areas and operations.
The website describes body areas and operations rather than a list of diagnoses.
This is a gap worth noting for anyone seeking regenerative treatment.
