The practice of Paul D. Crook, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon in Nashville offering bone marrow derived cell injections and platelet rich plasma under imaging guidance.
This is the practice of a single orthopaedic surgeon. Paul D. Crook is described on his site as a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon, with membership of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the Arthroscopy Association of North America. The directory places the practice at 8 City Boulevard in the ONEC1TY development off Charlotte Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee; the pages reviewed did not themselves give an address, so this should be confirmed before travelling.
The cell treatment described is autologous, meaning it comes from the patient's own body, and bone marrow based. The site states that stem cells are taken from the patient's bone marrow at the iliac crest, part of the pelvic bone, and injected into the affected area under imaging guidance, with the whole procedure typically taking under an hour. It names mesenchymal stem cells as the cell type and says these can develop into the cells that form musculoskeletal tissues such as tendons, ligaments and articular cartilage — a statement about cell biology rather than a claim about what the treatment achieves in patients.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP, concentrated platelets prepared from the patient's own blood) is offered separately, and the site also publishes pages on orthobiologics for the hip and for the shoulder, so the treatments are presented joint by joint. This structure is typical of a surgeon offering injections as an option short of surgery, rather than of a dedicated cell therapy centre.
The conditions named are degenerative problems of the shoulder, knee, hip and spine, together with soft tissue and bone injuries. The site makes no outcome claims and publishes no prices, insurance information, founding year or language details on the pages reviewed, so cost and coverage would both need to be raised at consultation.
The site describes its cell treatment as used for degenerative joint and spinal conditions and for soft tissue and bone injuries.
The site states that adult mesenchymal stem cells are taken from the patient's own bone marrow at the iliac crest of the pelvis and injected into the affected area under imaging guidance, usually in under an hour.
The practice is built around one surgeon.
This is a single-surgeon orthopaedic office practice in Nashville, Tennessee, with injections given in an outpatient setting under imaging guidance; the site says the procedure typically takes under an hour, implying it is a same-visit, walk-out procedure. Directory records place the office at 8 City Boulevard in the ONEC1TY development off Charlotte Avenue, which was not confirmed on the pages reviewed and should be verified. The site does not describe a cell processing laboratory, state any accreditation, or mention languages.
The site publishes no prices and makes no statement about cost or insurance for the cell or platelet treatments on the pages reviewed, so a prospective patient would need to ask at consultation.
