What Regenexx Hip Procedures Treat

Regenexx Pittsburgh offers precise, image-guided procedures for patients in Fox Chapel, Shadyside, and the greater Pittsburgh area who want to avoid surgery. We treat a range of orthopedic hip conditions.

How Regenexx Procedures Work

Regenexx uses your body’s own components — either blood or bone marrow — to support tissue repair. All procedures are performed under precise image guidance to target the affected area and avoid surrounding structures.

01

Regenexx-SD – Bone Marrow Concentrate Procedure

Used for moderate to severe degeneration, arthritis, or labral issues. Collected from your hip, processed to concentrate healing cells, and precisely re-injected into the affected joint under imaging.

02

Regenexx-SCP – Super Concentrated Platelet Procedures

Used for early arthritis, tendonitis, and soft tissue issues Uses your blood platelets, refined through advanced lab protocols to create PRP or Platelet Lysate formulations customized to your condition.

Disclaimer:

Not FDA-approved to treat any specific condition. Procedures are performed in accordance with FDA guidance on same-day autologous use.

Regenexx vs. Hip Surgery & Replacement

Hip surgery may be necessary for some cases, but it's not the only option. Regenexx Pittsburgh offers a less invasive approach — no joint removal, fewer risks, and often faster return to normal life.

Regenexx®

  • Outpatient, no incisions
  • Local anesthesia only
  • Personalized to your condition
  • Walk same day in many cases
  • No tissue removal

Hip Surgery

  • Inpatient, major surgery
  • General anesthesia
  • Standardized joint implant
  • Weeks/months of recovery
  • Bone and joint replacement

Regenexx is not a guaranteed alternative to surgery. Some patients may still require surgical treatment based on severity.

I was training for my next Spartan Race when I felt my knee pop. MRI showed a torn meniscus. My doctor recommended surgery, but I chose Regenexx instead. Within months, I was back to running trails.
