Ankle Treatment

If you suffer from chronic or acute ankle pain or instability due to arthritis, cartilage loss, ligament strain or tear, or tendon damage, then you may benefit from non-surgical stem cell treatments.

Can stem cells heal ankle injuries?

Dr. Riordan has published a case study in CellR4 Repair, Replacement, Regeneration & Reprogramming on treating severe chronic Achilles tendinopathy with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), which contains several types of stem cells known to rebuild and vascularize tissue. 10 weeks after the ultrasound-guided injections into the tendon, MRI imaging confirmed significant healing. At 32 weeks, MRI images showed nearly complete healing.

Stem Cell-Augmented Achilles Tendon Rupture Repair Yields Excellent Results

In this study, 27 patients underwent surgery augmented with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC). 25 of these patients returned to their sport around 6 months post-treatment. Patients were walking without a boot in about 2 months and were able to participate in light activity at around 3 months. Excellent results, including no re-ruptures and early mobilization, were observed in this small cohort with open Achilles tendon repair augmented by BMAC. No adverse outcomes of biologic treatment were observed with this protocol.
