Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance (KCOA)

A large orthopaedic group across the Kansas City metropolitan area whose regenerative service offers bone marrow concentrate and platelet injections for joint and tendon problems.

Overview

Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance is a substantial orthopaedic group practice working across the Kansas City metropolitan area on both sides of the state line. The site lists six offices: Overland Park, Leawood, Shawnee Mission and Lenexa in Kansas, and Belton and Blue Springs in Missouri. Regenerative injection treatment sits inside a full orthopaedic service rather than being the whole of what the practice does, which gives a patient the option of being assessed by surgeons who also offer conventional treatment.

The two regenerative treatments described are bone marrow concentrate (BMC), prepared from the patient's own bone marrow, and platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood). Both are autologous, meaning the material comes from the patient's own body; no donor-derived or amniotic products are named on the pages reviewed.

The site is unusually informative about technique, which is worth noting. It argues that how bone marrow is drawn matters a great deal, citing published work to the effect that two doctors taking the same volume from the same person can obtain very different numbers of cells, and that drawing small volumes from several sites within the marrow yields more cells than a single large draw. It says Dr Khadavi has been teaching other physicians these techniques since 2014. This is a statement about cell yield rather than about patient benefit, and should not be read as evidence that the treatment works.

The site also distinguishes which treatment it considers suited to which problem, and gives expected durations of relief — roughly six to twelve months for platelet rich plasma in mild to moderate osteoarthritis, and two to four years for bone marrow concentrate. Those are the practice's own estimates, reported here rather than endorsed, and the site offers no outcome data to support them. No prices are published and no insurance statement is made, which matters particularly here because the group's conventional orthopaedic work would ordinarily be insured while the injections generally are not.

Conditions Treated

The site sets out which conditions it considers suited to platelet treatment and which to bone marrow concentrate, which is more specific than most clinics manage.

Mild to moderate osteoarthritisSevere osteoarthritis, for which the site suggests bone marrow concentrate rather than plateletsTendonitis and tendinopathy, including rotator cuff and biceps tendon problemsTennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)Partial tendon tears and complete non-retracted tendon tearsPartial ligament tearsDegenerative meniscus tearsLabral tearsBack pain from disc problems, facet joint arthritis and sacroiliac joint arthritis

Cell Sources and Technologies

The site says its cell treatment is bone marrow concentrate taken from the patient's own marrow, and places considerable weight on how carefully the marrow is drawn.

Bone marrow concentrate (BMC) — autologous (from the patient's own body); the site emphasises harvesting small volumes from multiple sites within the marrow to increase cell yield, but does not name the harvest site or describe the concentration equipment.Platelet rich plasma (PRP) — prepared from the patient's own blood.No donor-derived, umbilical cord or amniotic products are named on the pages reviewed.

Physicians and Clinical Team

The group is large; the pages reviewed identify the regenerative work chiefly with one physician.

Dr Michael Khadavi — MD, described as specialising in regenerative medicine and as having trained other physicians in platelet rich plasma and bone marrow procedures since 2014.Dr David Clymer — MD, named among the group's physicians.The group lists a large number of further orthopaedic surgeons across its six offices; the pages reviewed do not set out which of them perform the regenerative injections, so this would need to be confirmed.

Facility and Patient Experience

The practice works from six outpatient offices across the Kansas City metropolitan area, spanning both Kansas and Missouri, and forms part of a full orthopaedic service rather than a standalone injection clinic. The pages reviewed describe ultrasound-guided injection but do not detail imaging equipment, cell processing laboratories or accreditation, and do not say at which of the six sites regenerative procedures are carried out.

  • Six offices listed: Overland Park, Leawood, Shawnee Mission and Lenexa in Kansas, and Belton and Blue Springs in Missouri
  • Part of a full orthopaedic group practice rather than a standalone regenerative clinic
  • Injections described as ultrasound-guided
  • The site publishes detailed material on bone marrow harvesting technique and cell yield
  • A physician of the group is described as training other doctors in these techniques since 2014
  • No laboratory, accreditation, year established or language information stated on the pages reviewed

Cost and Payment

No prices are published and the pages reviewed make no statement about insurance. As the group combines conventional orthopaedic care, which United States insurers generally cover, with regenerative injections, which they generally do not, a prospective patient should ask for a written breakdown of what would be billed to insurance and what would be self-funded.
