Advanced Knee Preservation: Regenerative Solutions to Avoid Joint Replacement

Dr. Scheinberg has spent over 40 years performing complex knee surgeries, giving him a unique "surgeon’s lens" when evaluating joint health. Our practice focuses on the "Biologic over Bionic" philosophy, prioritizing the repair of your natural knee architecture over the installation of metal and plastic parts. By combining surgical-level diagnostics with advanced cell therapies, we offer a path to recovery that addresses the root cause of knee pain while minimizing the risks and lengthy rehabilitation of major surgery.

‍

• Comprehensive Osteoarthritis Care: We target knee osteoarthritis by utilizing Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) and PRP to aggressively reduce inflammation and fight apoptosis (cell death). This approach aims to restore a healthy environment within the joint, significantly delaying or eliminating the need for a total knee replacement.
• Non-Surgical Meniscal Repair: For partial meniscal tears, we offer regenerative alternatives to traditional "trimming" surgeries, which can often lead to early arthritis. Our biologic treatments deliver concentrated growth factors directly to the tear, supporting the natural healing of the knee’s vital cushioning.
• Ligament Stability and Repair: We treat acute and chronic ligament injuries, including ACL, MCL, and LCL sprains, by using precision-guided injections to stimulate tissue repair. This focus on structural integrity helps athletes and active individuals return to their sport with a stable, functional joint.
• Articular Cartilage Restoration: Damaged cartilage on the surface of the knee joint can lead to debilitating "bone-on-bone" pain. Our regenerative protocols focus on preserving and protecting articular cartilage, utilizing biologics to manage symptoms and improve the mechanical fluid environment of the knee.
• Surgical-Grade Precision: Every knee procedure is performed in our accredited surgical center under high-resolution ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. This ensures that every biologic treatment is delivered with absolute precision to the exact site of the injury, maximizing the potential for long-term success.
