Hip Labrum Regenerative Orthopedic Procedure - Interventional Orthopedics - Regenexx

Welcome to the "Regenexx". Throughout this video, you will learn about Regenerative Orthopedic procedures.

Regenerative Orthopedics repairs the labrum and supports the formation of cartilage in the hip environment. This regenerative therapy has been found effective for the treatment of labral injuries. And the non-surgical treatment involves the injection of natural substances into the degenerated hip to stimulate healing.

At Regenexx, we invented a new approach to orthopedic care we call Interventional Orthopedics. This minimally invasive alternative to hip surgery involves the use of image guidance technology to precisely inject your own bone marrow concentrate — which contains stem cells — directly where it’s needed to repair damaged tissue in the hip joint structure.

The cells in your bone marrow concentrate work at the site of your injury to promote the growth of new, healthy tissue that aids in the stabilization of your hip joint for better function and mobility.

To really understand why Regenexx is very different. Let's take a look at one of our procedures. What you're about to see, your orthopedic surgeon can't do, the guy down the street that does a little bit of ultrasound can't do. So let's take a look at this advanced precise guided work. Let's take a look at what interventional orthopedics looks like in the hip.

We offer a unique approach to treating orthopedic injuries non-surgically based on over fifteen years of research and experience.

Regenexx is a provider network doing procedural-based care. We pioneered the use of orthopedic bone marrow concentrate to treat common orthopedic conditions to help people avoid surgery using cells from their own body.

Stem Cell Treatment for Hip Labrum Tear:

The labrum is a piece of fibrocartilage (rubbery tissue) attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the joint in place.

Forum Fear!

After my anterior hip was bothering me I decided to do some googling, just in case...bad idea. I had this same experience just prior to surgery when I was trying to get a gauge of different individual's recovery. Inevitably I ended up in one forum or another looking at posts. The problem is, these forums are fraught with people who are having bad experiences or problems, that's why they're there! The healthy people aren't there. Needless to say, you read about four different peoples horrendous experiences and either end ups scared shitless, or thankful that you haven't had 'that' person's experience...at least not yet.

So, if you have the feeling that you need to go lurking in a forum to figure out what's gonna' happen to you before surgery, or why you have a wierd click or pain, beware of the fear factor.

A good friend summed it up best with his ACL repair: "I was freaking out about every pop, pain, and time I bumped it on stuff. The reality was I just listened to my PT's and MD's and I was fine." In fact he's, better than fine and can out ski me any day of the week.

This is probably one of the best examples I've seen of the labral repair.

The Cost of Surgery

I'm going to keep my viewpoint regarding the cost of medical care and solutions out of this, but I think it's important to see the reality of this cost.

I was originally denied coverage of this surgery by my previous insurance company. One of only two companies that regards this surgery as "experimental". My new insurance company does cover it and I'm thankful they do. I was considering paying for this out of pocket because of my previous post regarding the likely development of osteoarthritis and a young age hip replacement.

Here's the gist of the bill below:

-Total Charge: $44,424. Insurance Adjustment:$28,876. Total Paid by Insurance Company: $15,548 My payment: $225!

It's amazing that I have to pay so little. Yet it's also amazing to me that the insurance company gets a discount greater than 60%! That's unreal to me. I realize out of pocket I would be allowed to negotiate downwards, but how does it drop that much, why don't we just charge the same rate to everyone?

This won't be my total cost. I'll still have to pay the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and physical therapy (which is my biggest expense considering my large co-pay for those services). All in all though, I'm glad it didn't cost me the out of pocket price...yikes!

PT at 3 Weeks

Three weeks down and I'm getting off my crutches! I'm spending about 1/3 of my day with no crutches in the house, 1/3 with one crutch, and another 1/3 with two crutches. Obviously that's evolving and the PT indicated to me to go with what I can tolerate each day. Honestly the most difficult thing is sitting for any length of time. I went to the movies last night and had to fidget alot to try and stay comfortable. Definitely am enjoying the reclining.

I'm starting to get active in PT. We spent 30 minutes in the pool on Thursday walking and some other exercises. My home exercises at week 3:

-Quadriped rocking, Hip IR (resisted and non resisted), Heel slides, resisted hamstrings, Heel slides, uninvolved knee to chest, and now some prone leg raise, and side lying abduction.

After each session I'm doing E-stim and icing for 20 minutes. All in all everything seems to be in fair order. I'm trying to still limit my activity to give things as much time to rest and rebuild as much as possible. Next week I get a bunch of new exercises which should be a stretch and it's the last step before graduating to Phase II - which are some actual functional exercises.
