Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate
What Is BMAC?
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate, or BMAC, is made from your own bone marrow. A small sample is drawn from the back of the hip, spun in the office to concentrate its cellular components, and placed into the joint under image guidance in the same visit.
What Is in the Concentrate
The concentrate contains mesenchymal stem cells, other cells from the marrow, platelets, and the proteins that come with them. What each of these does once it is placed in a joint remains under study.
The BMAC Procedure
- Collection. The skin over the back of the hip is numbed with local anesthetic and a sample of marrow is drawn. Most people describe pressure rather than pain.
- Concentration. The sample is spun in the office to concentrate it.
- Placement. The concentrate is injected into the joint under image guidance.
The visit is typically completed within a few hours.
What Patients Should Know
This is an investigational treatment. It is not established for any specific diagnosis, and it is not a replacement for surgery where surgery is indicated. Outcomes differ between people and cannot be guaranteed. Dr. Abbasi will explain whether he believes the treatment is appropriate for you.
Questions People Ask
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
Does the collection hurt?
The area is numbed with local anesthetic first. Most people describe a sensation of pressure rather than pain while the sample is drawn.
How is BMAC different from PRP?
Both are made from your own body and prepared in the office. PRP is concentrated from a small blood draw; BMAC is concentrated from bone marrow drawn from the back of the hip.
How long does it take?
The visit is typically completed within a few hours, most of it waiting for the concentration step.
