Tucson orthopaedic group offering prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspiration and micro-fat injections, delivered under ultrasound guidance.
Tucson Orthopaedic Institute is an established orthopaedic group practice in Tucson, Arizona with a dedicated regenerative medicine service. Its regenerative treatments are injection-based and non-surgical, and are offered alongside the group's wider orthopaedic care.
Four procedures are described. Dextrose prolotherapy involves injecting a sugar solution, which the site says produces a temporary low-grade inflammation intended to trigger the body's repair process in soft tissue. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is made by drawing the patient's blood and spinning it in a centrifuge; the practice states the resulting concentrate contains more than seven times the platelet level of normal circulating blood, and that it is injected under ultrasound guidance. Bone marrow aspiration draws marrow from the patient's own bone, and micro-fat aspiration takes a small amount of the patient's fat tissue.
The practice states that its treatment protocols comply with published United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance, and that it tracks patient outcomes through an external registry, databiologics.com. These are the practice's own statements and have not been independently verified here. The page does not list which specific diagnoses it treats with these injections, so patients should ask whether their condition is one the service handles.
The page does not publish a list of conditions treated, so ask the practice directly whether your problem is one they treat with these injections and what evidence supports it.
