PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Injections for Big Toe Arthritis
JH is a 61 year old female with 6 months of left foot big toe pain. She does not remember any trauma to the foot. Pain at the big toe with walking, dancing and stair climbing. X-rays show notable arthritis of the big toe joint. MRI shows big toe joint arthritis along with swelling and inflammation inside the bone from the arthritis.
After discussing options, she decided to proceed with regenerative PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections to the joint and into the areas of damaged bone. (She was asleep for this treatment as bone injections hurt). She is now 6 weeks out from treatment and her pain is gone! She can now go up and down stairs and dance without pain!
Come see what regenerative orthopedics can do for you!!
