Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
1 to 1.5 hours
Limited weight-bearing for 1 to 2 weeks; full recovery protocol over 6 to 12 weeks
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) harvests stem cells and growth factors from your own bone marrow (typically from the iliac crest) and concentrates them for injection into damaged joints or tissue. BMAC contains mesenchymal stem cells, platelets, and cytokines that can promote structural repair in degenerated joints, torn cartilage, and damaged bone. This represents the most advanced regenerative option available.
How It Works
- 1Bone marrow is aspirated from the posterior iliac crest under local anesthesia
- 2The aspirate is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate stem cells and growth factors
- 3The concentrate is analyzed to confirm adequate cell counts
- 4Under image guidance, BMC is injected into the target joint or tissue
- 5Stem cells differentiate and promote structural tissue repair over months
Benefits
- Contains the highest concentration of regenerative cells
- Promotes actual structural repair of cartilage and bone
- Autologous (from your own body); no rejection risk
- Single-session procedure with no repeated treatments needed
Conditions This Treats
- Moderate to severe osteoarthritis
- Cartilage defects
- Avascular necrosis
- Non-healing fractures
- Advanced joint degeneration
