The orthobiologics service of Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, the academic orthopaedic practice at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
This listing covers the regenerative, or orthobiologic, service provided through Rush University Medical Center's orthopaedic practice, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush. It is an academic hospital-affiliated practice that treats patients and also runs research and clinical trials, rather than a stand-alone cash-pay cell therapy clinic.
The orthobiologic treatments listed are conservative by the standards of this sector and all use the patient's own tissue or standard medical products. They are platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made by concentrating platelets from the patient's blood; bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), drawn from the patient's own marrow; the use of a blood clot to assist meniscal repair in the knee; and hyaluronic acid injections, which lubricate a joint and are not a cell therapy. There is no mention of umbilical cord, amniotic or exosome products.
The practice states that these treatments may be used on their own or alongside surgery, and that the choice is individualised. It is candid about payment: it states that some of these procedures are regarded as experimental or investigational by insurance companies and may therefore be a self-pay service. No individual orthobiologics physicians are named on the service page, and no specific list of conditions is published there, so both would need to be established at a consultation.
The service page does not publish a condition list; it describes joint pain and soft tissue injury in general terms.
All biological material described comes from the patient; no donor tissue products are offered.
The orthobiologics service page does not name individual physicians; the practice maintains a separate provider directory.
The practice lists sites in Chicago, Joliet, Naperville, Oak Brook, Oak Park and Westchester in Illinois, and Munster in Indiana, with the academic base at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Street addresses, opening hours, the year established, languages spoken and any dedicated international patient service are not given on the orthobiologics page.
No prices are published. The practice states that some of these procedures are considered experimental or investigational by insurance carriers and may therefore be a self-pay service, so confirm coverage and cost with the practice and your insurer beforehand.
