Board-certified shoulder and elbow surgeon in Louisville, Kentucky offering bone marrow aspirate and platelet-rich plasma injections alongside shoulder surgery.
Louisville Shoulder is the practice of Kevin L. Harreld, MD, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in the shoulder and elbow. The practice runs from two locations in Louisville, Kentucky and covers both operations and non-surgical injection treatments.
The cell-based part of the practice is a bone marrow aspirate injection. The site explains that marrow is drawn from the patient's own body — from the pelvis (iliac bone) or the shin — and describes the concentrate as containing stem or precursor cells, progenitor cells, growth factors, platelets and white blood cells. Platelet-rich plasma injections, made from the patient's own blood, are offered as a separate option. Both are day procedures rather than surgery.
Alongside these injections the practice performs the full range of shoulder operations: total, stemless total, reverse, partial and revision shoulder replacement, shoulder arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair, SLAP and labral repair, and arthroscopic Bankart repair for instability. The site does not enumerate the specific diagnoses treated with the marrow injection, so ask what it is being proposed for in your own case.
The site refers to shoulder and elbow conditions in general rather than listing named diagnoses for the injection treatments. Ask which specific condition is being treated and what evidence supports the injection for it.
Everything used comes from the patient's own body; no donor or cord-derived products are advertised.
The practice operates from two clinic locations in Louisville, Kentucky. The website does not publish opening hours, the year the practice was established, languages spoken beyond English, or any dedicated service for international patients.
No prices are published for the bone marrow aspirate or platelet-rich plasma injections. Injection treatments of this kind are often not covered by insurance, so ask for the cost in writing and check with your insurer before booking.
