A Manhattan orthopaedic surgery practice led by Dr Thomas Youm, focused on hip, knee and shoulder surgery, with stem cell and platelet rich plasma injections also listed.
This is the practice website of Dr Thomas Youm, an orthopaedic surgeon based on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The site is built around surgical treatment of the hip, knee, shoulder and elbow rather than around regenerative medicine, and hip arthroscopy in particular is presented as the practice's main area of work.
Stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood) appear on the site as part of the range of treatments offered, positioned alongside conventional surgery rather than as the practice's focus. The site describes the cells used as healthy adult stem cells found throughout the body, which is a general statement and not a specification of where they are actually taken from.
The surgical services listed are extensive: hip arthroscopy, labral repair and reconstruction, treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI, where the bones of the hip joint rub abnormally), core decompression for avascular necrosis (bone death from loss of blood supply), rotator cuff and shoulder labral repair, shoulder replacement, reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), meniscus repair, cartilage transplant, partial and total knee replacement, and elbow procedures.
The site publishes no costs and does not say whether regenerative injections are covered by insurance. Because it does not state which tissue the stem cells come from, how they are processed, or who performs the injection, a prospective patient interested specifically in cell therapy here would need to ask those questions directly.
The conditions listed are orthopaedic and sports injuries of the hip, knee, shoulder and elbow.
The site refers to stem cell therapy using what it calls healthy adult stem cells found throughout the body, but gives no further detail about preparation or source.
The practice is built around one named surgeon.
The practice runs two offices: a Manhattan office at 55 East 86th Street, Suite 1A, New York, New York 10028, and a New Jersey office at OrthoEnglewood, 34 South Dean Street, Suite 202, Englewood, New Jersey. These are presented as consulting offices, with surgery carried out at NYU Langone, where the surgeon holds his hospital appointment. The site does not describe a procedure suite, laboratory or cell-processing facility of its own.
The site gives no prices for any treatment, including stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma, and makes no statement about insurance cover or self-payment for these injections. Costs would have to be confirmed with the office.
