The practice website of a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon in Plymouth, Minnesota, offering bone marrow, fat-derived, amniotic and platelet injections alongside sports surgery.
This is the practice website of Ryan R. Fader, MD, described as a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specialising in the hip, knee and shoulder and in sports medicine, with memberships listed in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy Surgery and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine. The address given is 2805 Campus Drive, Suite 465, Plymouth, Minnesota, with care described as also serving St Paul and Minneapolis.
The regenerative section is more detailed than most. It names platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood, which the site says concentrates platelets and white blood cells), bone marrow aspiration concentrate (BMAC), adipose tissue injections using fat taken from the waist, amniotic products which the site says contain hyaluronic acid, autologous cell therapy, prolotherapy and cartilage regeneration procedures.
The bone marrow procedure is described step by step: marrow is aspirated by needle from the iliac crest of the pelvis, spun in a centrifuge for ten to fifteen minutes, concentrated and then injected into the affected area under specialised x-ray guidance, with the whole procedure taking under an hour and the patient going home the same day. The site explains that the cells of interest are mesenchymal stem cells, which it says can replicate into tissues of the musculoskeletal system such as tendons, ligaments and articular cartilage. It also describes embryonic stem cells in general educational terms as pluripotent cells derived from human embryos; this reads as background rather than an offering, and the site does not say the practice uses them.
By the standards of this field the claims are measured: the site says stem cells have shown promising results and that the therapy is generally considered safe, and it quotes no success rates. One gap is worth raising at consultation — the amniotic products named are allogeneic, meaning from a donor, and the site does not say who supplies them or how donors are screened. No prices, founding year or languages are published.
The site's focus is sports injuries and degenerative joint problems.
The site describes cells taken from the patient's own bone marrow and fat, and separately names amniotic products, which come from donors.
This is a single-surgeon practice website.
The address on the site is 2805 Campus Drive, Suite 465, Plymouth, Minnesota, with care described as also serving St Paul and Minneapolis. What is described is an outpatient orthopaedic practice: bone marrow is aspirated, processed in a centrifuge and injected during a single visit of under an hour, with x-ray guidance for placement and same-day discharge. No dedicated cell laboratory is described beyond same-day centrifuge processing, and no accreditation detail is given. The amniotic products used are bought in, and no supplier is named.
No prices appear anywhere on the pages reviewed, and nothing is said about insurance cover for these injections. A quote would have to be requested from the practice, and it is worth asking separately about the amniotic product, which is a purchased donor material.
