Concentrated Bone Marrow Aspirate (cBMA)

Concentrated bone marrow aspirate is a biologic therapy using stem and progenitor cells harvested from a patient’s bone marrow. These cells help repair damaged tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.

Anterior Ankle Impingement

    • Osteochondral injuries of the ankle or foot

    • Tendon tears or chronic tendinopathy

    • Early arthritis or degenerative joint changes

  • Bone marrow is aspirated, usually from the iliac crest, and concentrated to isolate healing cells. The concentrate is then injected into the damaged area, often under imaging guidance.

    • Promotes tissue regeneration and repair

    • Minimally invasive alternative to surgery

    • Can reduce pain and improve function in chronic conditions

  • Mild soreness at the harvest or injection site is common. Functional improvements typically appear over 6–12 weeks, with continued tissue remodeling for several months.
