Marrow Cellution: Autologous Bone Marrow Aspiration use in an Ankle Fusion

Successful fusions in challenging cases can be facilitated when the site is augmented with Autograft bone. Autograft bone that is harvested from the iliac crest is generally considered the "gold standard" for joint fusions but graft harvest is associated with frequent complications and pain.

Steadman Philippon Research Tests AB60 PurePRP (leukocyte poor) and GS60 AbsolutePRP (leuckocyte rich)

Miguel Rosas, MLS(ASCP) is the Laboratory Operations Manager of ProofPoint Biologics at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, CO. Chief scientific officer, Dr. Johnny Huard PhD and Dr. Thos Evans MD are the driving force behind ProofPoint Biologics. Everything done at The Steadman Clinic is evidence-based and backed by science. A hematology analyzer is used to run a CBC on a whole blood sample prior to processing. After the biologic is complete, another sample is compared to the baseline to see what the final product is composed of and calculate the increase in platelet count. WBC and RBC counts are all measured in the final sample.
