Overview
Forte Sports Medicine and Orthopedics is a physician-owned orthopaedic group with several offices across central Indiana. Its Greenwood office sits on West County Line Road, with a physicians' clinic at number 1401 and a rehabilitation suite a few doors away at number 1405.
The site lists sixteen named surgeons and specialists at this office and describes the services available there as sports medicine, workers' compensation care, imaging, bracing and medical equipment, hip and knee replacement, concussion care and rehabilitation.
Cell-based work sits within what the practice calls orthobiologics. According to that page, the injections it offers include bone marrow aspirate concentrate, which it says holds several cell types including mesenchymal stem cells, and microgranulated fat aspirate, which it says holds mesenchymal signalling cells. Both are taken from the patient's own body.
A separate article on the same site states that products derived from umbilical cord blood, amniotic tissue and Wharton's jelly are not lawfully available in the United States outside trials approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The site presents orthobiologics as a service of the practice as a whole and does not say at which of its offices the injections are given, so a patient should ask when booking.
