Overview

Plancher Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine is a private orthopaedic surgical practice with an office at 31 River Road, Suite 102, Cos Cob, Connecticut, and a second office on Park Avenue in New York City. It describes itself as an out-of-network, concierge-level practice, which means it does not contract with insurance companies in the usual way and patients should expect to check reimbursement carefully before treatment.

The main body of work here is conventional orthopaedics rather than cell therapy: knee and shoulder replacement, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, meniscus and cartilage repair, rotator cuff repair and treatment for shoulder instability and frozen shoulder. Alongside these, the practice lists biologics — specifically stem cells and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), which is prepared from the patient's own bone marrow.

This is not a dedicated stem cell clinic, and the site gives very little detail about its biologic injections: no description of how cells are prepared, no stated conditions for which they are used and no separate treatment page. Anyone approaching the practice specifically for cell therapy should ask what is actually offered. The practice also runs a fellowship training programme in sports medicine and in shoulder and elbow surgery.
