Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)

What is BMAC?

BMAC, or Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate, is a regenerative medicine technique that utilizes a patient’s own bone marrow to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Bone marrow contains a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, and other healing components essential for tissue repair.

During a BMAC procedure, a small sample of bone marrow is aspirated from the patient’s hip bone under local anesthesia. The bone marrow is then processed in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate the regenerative cells and growth factors. Once concentrated, the BMAC is injected directly into the site of injury or tissue damage.

BMAC therapy has shown promising results in treating a variety of orthopaedic conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Tendon and ligament injuries (such as rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendonitis)
  • Cartilage defects
  • Stress fractures
  • Non-union fractures

  • Natural Healing: BMAC utilizes the body’s natural healing mechanisms to promote tissue repair and regeneration.
  • Minimally Invasive: The BMAC procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed as an outpatient procedure.
  • Reduced Risk of Rejection: Since BMAC utilizes the patient’s own cells, there is minimal risk of rejection or adverse reactions.
  • Potential to Avoid Surgery: In many cases, BMAC therapy can help patients avoid the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
