Henderson, Colberg: Pure bone marrow aspirate injection for chronic GTPS (Case Report)

Rachel G Henderson and Ricardo E Colberg from Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Center in Birmingham (AL, USA) show a case of a patient with a debilitating GTPS that was treated with a pure autologous bone marrow aspirate injection into the tendon, and reported near complete resolution of symptoms at the 1-year follow-up.

• Orthobiologic interventions, such as platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow aspirate injections, may stimulate tendon healing and improve pain and function in patients who fail conservative treatment with the current standard of care.
• Given growing concerns with regards to the current bone marrow aspirate concentrate procedure technique, a new technique for aspirating the bone marrow has been introduced.
