A single-surgeon orthopaedic practice in Pearland, south of Houston, offering joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery and injections of the patient's own stem cells.
Dr Burke Orthopedics is a private orthopaedic practice at 11713 Shadow Creek Parkway in Pearland, Texas, just south of Houston. It is built around one board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Robert L. Burke, whom the site describes as having more than thirty-five years of experience, certification from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and a certificate in orthopaedic sports medicine.
The practice is predominantly surgical and covers the full range of joints — shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot — with arthroscopic procedures, joint replacement, robotic-assisted surgery, reconstructive operations and physical therapy. The site states that treatment usually begins with non-surgical approaches before surgery is considered.
Regenerative options are offered within that. The site names MACI, a cartilage repair procedure using the patient's own cultured cartilage cells, and platelet rich plasma (PRP, concentrated from a sample of the patient's own blood). Its stem cell pages describe harvesting cells from elsewhere in the patient's own body and transplanting them into the painful or damaged area as a series of small injections, and state that this approach requires no donor. That differs from the rough directory note suggesting donor cells are used, and the site itself says the cells are the patient's own.
The site's stem cell pages list a wide range of applications — arthritis, muscle loss, neuropathy, scarring, sports injuries and skin burns — and describe benefits such as faster recovery, natural healing, less pain and restored movement. Those are the clinic's own claims, presented without supporting data, and a reader should treat the broader applications with caution and ask what evidence supports treatment for their particular problem. The site also carries a marketing line describing the surgeon as the number one rated orthopaedic doctor in Texas, which is a promotional statement rather than a formal credential. No prices are published.
The practice covers the full range of joints, and its stem cell pages list a wider set of applications.
The site states that its stem cell treatment uses autologous cells, meaning cells harvested from another part of the patient's own body and transplanted into the painful area as a series of small injections, and that no donor is required.
One surgeon is named on the site.
The practice occupies premises on Shadow Creek Parkway in Pearland, a suburb south of Houston. The site describes an outpatient orthopaedic office offering same-day or next-day appointments, short waiting times, free parking and on-site physical therapy. Robotic-assisted surgery is offered, although the site does not say at which hospital or surgical centre operations are performed, and no laboratory for cell processing is described.
No prices are published for stem cell injections, platelet therapy or any other service, and the site does not say whether regenerative treatment is covered by insurance. Conventional orthopaedic surgery at such a practice is normally billed to insurance, but cell injections often are not, so this should be confirmed with the practice.
