Procedures for Knee Arthritis, Meniscus Tears, Tendon & Ligament Tears, Overuse Injuries and Other Conditions.
Regenexx® Procedures are non-surgical injection-based procedures for people suffering from knee pain due to common injuries to the knee Meniscus, ACL, MCL, and other structures, or who are experiencing degenerative conditions such as Osteoarthritis. These procedures utilize concentrated repair cells that are obtained from your own bone marrow or blood to promote your body’s own natural ability to heal. Traditional options for patients suffering from these conditions include arthroscopic knee surgery to repair ligament tears, meniscus, or total knee replacement. With those surgeries, months of rehab are required, and the patient must be aware of and prepared to take on the risks. As an alternative, Regenexx regenerative orthopedic procedures are designed to help reduce knee pain and improve function with precise highly specific image-guided medical procedures.

Knee Outcomes
Knee Function Improvement After Regenexx Procedure
Prior to treatment, patients report being limited to an average of 56% of their optimal function. After receiving treatment, they report averages up to 76%. The functional questionnaire represented here is the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS).
All functional scores have been normalized to a scale of 0 – 100 for observation.
Data updated April 2, 2024.
Knee Pain Decrease After Regenexx Procedure
Prior to receiving treatment, patients report average pain of 4.0/10. One month after treatment, pain levels decrease to an average of 2.3/10, a decrease of 43%. The questionnaire used is the Numeric Pain Scale (NPS).

Your Alternative to Knee Surgery
Surgical options for those dealing with painful knee issues range from arthroscopic knee surgery to total knee joint replacement. Recent research has shown that some of the most popular arthroscopic surgeries, such as meniscectomy, provide little benefit to the patient. Knee replacement is extremely traumatic and carries risks of chronic pain and toxic wear particles entering the bloodstream. Surgical risks aside, all surgeries require months of painful rehab to regain strength and mobility. Most knee surgeries also accelerate the cascade of degeneration that leads to Osteoarthritis.
We have seen exciting results on difficult cases, such as complete muscle and ligament tears, and we have helped thousands of patients with arthritis avoid knee replacement and continue to do the things they love with little or no pain. Most Regenexx patients experience little downtime from their procedure and are encouraged to return to activity as they begin to feel better.
Your Regenexx Physician will determine if you are, or are not, a Candidate for these procedures and recommend surgery if that’s what’s needed.
