How Does Bone Marrow Treatment Work?
Bone marrow injections leverage the incredible regenerative capabilities of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) found within your own bone marrow. These MSCs have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, including cartilage cells (chondrocytes), which can repair and regenerate the damaged hip labrum. The treatment process is minimally invasive and involves:
- Collection: We extract bone marrow from your pelvic bone, typically from the posterior iliac crest.
- Concentration: The bone marrow is processed to isolate the MSCs, which are concentrated into a small volume of fluid.
- Injection: Under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, the MSC-rich fluid is precisely injected into the damaged hip labrum, promoting natural healing and repair.
