Des Moines area hip and knee surgeon offering joint replacement alongside non-surgical options including platelet-rich plasma and injections described as stem cell treatment.
Iowa Hip and Knee is the practice website of Craig R. Mahoney, MD, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon working within Iowa Ortho. The site states he sees patients at four locations in the Des Moines metropolitan area: Des Moines, Ankeny, Pleasant Hill and Johnston.
The main focus of the practice is adult reconstruction, meaning hip and knee replacement, including partial knee replacement and minimally invasive approaches. Alongside surgery the site lists non-operative options for arthritis and joint pain, including viscosupplementation (injections of a lubricating gel into the joint), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy made from the patient's own blood, and injections the site describes as stem cell injections.
The regenerative offering is described only briefly. The website does not say where the cells used in the stem cell injections come from, whether they are taken from the patient's own bone marrow or fat or supplied from a donor product, nor how they are processed. If you are considering this route, ask for that information in writing before agreeing to treatment.
The cell source is not stated on the website, which is an important gap for anyone comparing providers.
The practice operates from four Iowa Ortho sites in the Des Moines metropolitan area: Des Moines, Ankeny, Pleasant Hill and Johnston. The website includes a first-visit guide and online appointment request. Opening hours, year of establishment, languages spoken and any international-patient service are not stated.
No prices or consultation fees are published. Joint replacement is usually billed to insurance, but injection treatments described as regenerative are often not covered, so ask for a written estimate.
