The regenerative medicine section of South County Orthopedic Specialists, an Orange County orthopaedic group offering orthobiologic injections alongside conventional surgery.
This is the regenerative medicine section of South County Orthopedic Specialists, an orthopaedic surgery group with six offices across Orange County, California, including Irvine, Huntington Beach area, Fountain Valley, Laguna Woods, Los Alamitos, Placentia and Yorba Linda. The group is a conventional orthopaedic practice first, with 15 surgeons covering joint replacement, sports medicine, spine, shoulder and elbow, hand and foot and ankle surgery.
The regenerative medicine pages are organised as a hub, with separate links for each joint - shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip, knee, foot and ankle, and spine - describing orthobiologic treatment options for those areas. Bone marrow is referred to in the hip section as tissue taken from the patient, but the hub page itself does not set out a full list of the products used.
Two things are missing from this section and worth asking about directly: it does not name which physicians perform the injections, and it does not clearly state which biologic products are used - for example whether treatment involves platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, concentrated bone marrow, or a donor-derived product. Ask for that detail, and for the evidence supporting it in your own diagnosis, before agreeing to treatment.
Treatment is presented joint by joint rather than by named diagnosis. Ask what published evidence supports orthobiologic injection for your specific condition, and how it compares with standard treatment.
The section is not specific about products; only bone marrow taken from the patient is referred to, in the hip material.
No physician is named on the regenerative medicine pages themselves; the practice as a whole lists 15 orthopaedic surgeons.
Treatment is provided through the group's six Orange County offices, which the website lists as Fountain Valley, Laguna Woods, Irvine, Los Alamitos, Placentia and Yorba Linda, with the regenerative pages also referencing Irvine and Huntington Beach. Practice hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Physical therapy, hand therapy and imaging are available within the practice. No founding year for the regenerative service, languages other than English, or international patient service is published.
No prices are published for regenerative or orthobiologic treatment. The practice points to a self-pay pricing resource elsewhere on its site; ask the office for a written quote, as these injections are often not covered by insurance.
