A small outreach office of a central Indiana orthopaedic group, held inside IU Health Tipton Hospital; the practice offers bone marrow and fat-derived cell injections.
Forte Sports Medicine and Orthopedics is a physician-owned orthopaedic group with several offices across central Indiana. Its Tipton clinic is not a building of its own: the site gives the address as a suite inside IU Health Tipton Hospital on South Main Street.
Only two clinicians are listed for this office and the services named are narrower than at the group's larger sites: sports medicine, workers' compensation care, hip and knee replacement, imaging, and bracing and medical equipment. The clinic is shown as closed on Wednesdays and at weekends.
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. The Tipton page is the group's smallest, and a patient seeking cell injections should confirm whether they are given here or only at a larger office.
The site lists the conditions for which it says orthobiologic injections are commonly used.
The site describes orthobiologics as natural substances used to help orthopaedic injuries heal, and among them names two cell-containing preparations taken from the patient's own body.
The site lists the following providers as seeing patients at this office; it does not say which of them perform orthobiologic injections.
The site places this clinic in a suite inside IU Health Tipton Hospital rather than in premises of its own, open on four days of the week with two named surgeons. It does not state any accreditation or the languages spoken.
The site publishes no prices for orthobiologic injections or for any other service, and does not say whether these treatments are covered by insurance.
