A Franklin, Tennessee clinic offering ultrasound-guided injections of bone marrow concentrate and platelet preparations as an alternative to orthopaedic surgery.
Nashville Regenerative Orthopedics is a clinic in Franklin, Tennessee, in the Nashville metropolitan area, which describes its work as interventional orthopaedic procedures: image-guided injections intended as an alternative to surgery. The directory's records associate it with the same address and telephone number as the separate dr-ethan-kellum-regenerative-solutions entry at 125 Cool Springs Boulevard, so the two listings appear to relate to the same practice or to closely related businesses and should be read together.
The treatment described is autologous, meaning the material comes from the patient's own body. The site states that concentrated repair cells are taken from the patient's own tissue and then reintroduced into the injured area under ultrasound guidance. It names bone marrow concentrate, drawn from the back part of the hip and then processed to concentrate the cells, and platelet rich plasma (PRP, concentrated platelets from the patient's own blood) together with platelet lysate, a preparation derived from platelets to release their growth factors.
The site also states that some of its protocols include giving stem cells intravenously, that is into a vein, to support healing. That is a meaningful detail for a reader to note: intravenous administration is a different proposition from a targeted joint injection, and the site does not explain on the page reviewed what cells are used for that route, what the intended mechanism is, or what the regulatory position is. A prospective patient should ask about this specifically.
The conditions listed for the knee are unusually specific for this kind of site and include meniscus tears, injuries to the anterior, posterior, medial and lateral collateral ligaments, knee instability, patellofemoral pain syndrome, bursitis, Baker's cysts, patellar tendonitis, hamstring tendinopathy and osteoarthritis. On cost the site says only that it varies depending on the disease state, with no figures. No clinician is named on the page reviewed, although directory records associate the orthopaedic surgeon Dr Ethan Kellum with the practice.
The list below is taken from the site's knee page, which is the most detailed condition page reviewed; the practice also describes treating other joints.
The site states that concentrated repair cells are taken from the patient's own bone marrow or blood and reintroduced into the injured area under ultrasound guidance, and that some protocols also give stem cells intravenously.
No clinician is named on the page reviewed; directory records associate the orthopaedic surgeon Dr Ethan Kellum with this practice, but a prospective patient should confirm who would perform the procedure.
The clinic is an outpatient injection practice in Franklin, Tennessee, using ultrasound guidance for its procedures. Directory records give the address as 125 Cool Springs Boulevard, Franklin, which is the same address associated with the Dr Ethan Kellum Regenerative Solutions listing. Because bone marrow concentrate and platelet preparations are made up on the day from the patient's own tissue, some form of on-site processing is implied, but the site does not describe a laboratory, state any accreditation, or mention languages.
No prices are published. The site states only that cost varies depending on the disease state, and gives no figures, ranges or insurance information, so a prospective patient would have to request a quotation.
