Dr. Broome Discusses Stem Cell and Adipose Tissue Injections for Joint Preservation

Dr. Broome: Along the lines of treating hip and knee arthritis and really other forms of arthritis, and aches, and pains in the body, we don't want to just focus on the end result, which would be surgery. We want to focus on the whole continuum of care. What can we do in the early game, when you first started having knee or hip pain, to prevent the arthritis from progressing to the point where you need joint replacement. And over the last few years in the biologic realm, several different type of injections have become very popular and very effective. So there's a little bit of a misleading concept in the medical world today, when you start talking about stem cells. And a lot of places are advertising stem cells, as the end all be all regenerative medicine concept. And at the end of the day, unfortunately, they don't really lead to regenerative medicine and a lot of people advertise, you know, the before and after X-ray, you see the bone on bone knee X-ray. And then after treatment, there's space between the bones. And that's really, very misleading. And that's probably a lot of little X-ray trickery that they're doing there. Because what we know on the lab, part of things is the stem cells in the joint, don't actually lead to regeneration of the cartilage. What they do, though, if we have the right armamentarium of cells, they do have a profound effect on stopping the breakdown of the cartilage and making what you have there healthier. In the line of of stem cell realm. Really what we want is signaling cells, not just stem cells, we want the whole armamentarium of cells at once they're put in there together, they signal to each other to go to action and do what you want them to do. Our fat tissue actually is very rich in the signaling cells, it has the highest proportion of anything else in the body. So along the last couple of years, what's become very popular is these adipose tissue injections. I frequently get people more common in knees than hips or other joints. But say they have early arthritis in their knee and they have really severe pain, maybe a degenerative meniscal tear. Oftentimes these people are amenable for adipose tissue transfer injections. So these people frequently, if they have a degenerative meniscal tear, something that's causing new pain, that's why they came in, but they have early arthritis. I'll take them to the operating room and do an arthroscopic procedure where we go in with a minimally invasive surgery, treating up clean up the torn meniscus, or maybe the new pathology that's caused the pain, that surgery alone is going to leave them though, with the underlying early arthritis. And if we can catch them early enough, while they're under, we can concurrently do another procedure, which is the lipid gems procedure, where we do a minimally invasive kind of a mini adipose tissue transfer. So it's kind of a mini liposuction procedure. And we'll harvest that the adipose tissue, we wash it down and process it and purify in a way that's safe, it's FDA-approved, then you have your own surgeon, your orthopedic surgeon actually providing this injection back to you. So I'll do these procedures while they're under during surgery. We can do them in the office setting as well. But oftentimes, it's nice during surgery, if they had something else going on, like a torn meniscus or a loose piece of cartilage, we can do it in the operating room setting while it's there. This has been a very successful procedure for us. I've done myself close to 40 of them in the last couple of years. I had it done myself a year and a half ago. And so I'm a big testament to it, my own knee is very bad. I've had seven surgeries and this would be this has been a very successful treatment option for me, has made a huge result in my own function in my daily life. #drbroome #sportsmedicine #sanantonio #stemcells #injection Click here to learn more about injections and our team: https://bit.ly/SAOS-main We are patient-focused orthopedic specialists dedicated to providing our local community in San Antonio, Texas, with the highest quality orthopedic services.
