An Oklahoma City hip and knee replacement practice led by an orthopaedic surgeon, which also offers platelet and cell injections for joint arthritis.
The Oklahoma Joint Reconstruction Institute is the practice of Dr Paul Jacob, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, based at 9800 Broadway Extension, Suite 201, Oklahoma City. Its main work is joint replacement surgery: the site describes total and partial hip and knee replacement, robotic-assisted and outpatient joint replacement, minimally invasive approaches and revision surgery for replacements that have failed. Regenerative injections appear as one alternative within that surgical practice rather than as the focus of the business, which is a useful distinction for a patient weighing up whether they need an operation at all.
Two regenerative treatments are named. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is described as being prepared from blood drawn from the patient's arm and spun in a centrifuge before injection into the injured area. For cell treatment the site's blog material describes stem cells being aspirated from the pelvic bone, concentrated and reinjected at the site of injury, making it autologous (from the patient's own body). The site also names a branded product it calls LIMFA, described only as a pharmaceutical-free cellular therapy; it does not say what tissue that preparation is made from, how it is processed or who supplies it, so anyone offered it should ask those questions before agreeing.
On what the treatments might achieve, the site says orthobiologic injections may help delay or avoid more invasive treatment such as joint replacement in suitable patients, and that improvement is usually seen within four to six weeks. Those are the practice's own statements and are reported here rather than endorsed; no published evidence is cited and no record of the practice's own results is given. Suitability is said to be decided by the surgeon, which again means the key question for a patient is how that judgement is made and what happens if the injection does not help.
The conditions named are hip and knee osteoarthritis, arthritis more generally and joint pain. Alongside Dr Jacob the site names two physician assistants and a registered nurse. The site makes much of his experience, including a claim to have performed more than four thousand robotic-assisted operations and a local ranking among Oklahoma City orthopaedic surgeons; these are marketing claims carried on the practice's own site. Nothing is published about the cost of the injections or whether insurance covers them, which for a practice that also bills insurance for surgery is an important gap to resolve in advance.
The practice's focus is arthritis of the large weight-bearing joints.
The site states that its cell treatment uses the patient's own tissue - bone marrow aspirated from the pelvic bone - which is concentrated and reinjected at the site of injury, and that platelet rich plasma is prepared from blood taken from the arm.
One surgeon and three other clinical staff are named.
The practice operates from a suite at 9800 Broadway Extension in north Oklahoma City, presented as a consulting and outpatient base for a surgical practice rather than a dedicated cell therapy centre. Injections are described as office procedures, with bone marrow taken from the pelvis and processed during the visit, which implies an on-site centrifuge. Joint replacement surgery, including robotic-assisted and outpatient procedures, would be carried out in a hospital or surgical centre, though the site does not say where. No information is given about the processing laboratory, accreditation, or the languages spoken, and the site does not state when the practice was founded.
The site publishes no prices for platelet rich plasma, the bone marrow injection or the LIMFA product, and makes no statement about whether any of them is covered by insurance. Since the practice bills insurance for joint replacement surgery, a prospective patient should ask specifically whether the injection pathway is insured or self-funded, and request a written quotation covering the consultation, the procedure and any repeat injections.
