Peter Fields, MD, director of OrthoRegen in Santa Monica, Calif., is offering a stem cell therapy that combines four regenerative orthopedic procedures.
The procedure combines stem cells from the patient's fat and bone marrow, platelet-rich plasma and dextrose prolotherapy, according to a Jan. 4 news release.
Dr. Fields, a licensed sports medicine physician and chiropractor, is offering the stem cell therapy to patients with cartilage damage and those who have had joint replacement recommended.
Although rising in popularity among clinicians, many industry leaders believe there is not a sufficient body of clinical evidence to fully support the safety and efficacy of regenerative therapies in orthopedics.
