What is BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) and Its Uses in Orthopaedics
BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) is a biological treatment method obtained from bone marrow and has a rich stem cell content. This application is based on the principle of using stem cells, growth factors and other biological materials obtained by concentrating the aspirate taken from the patient’s own bone marrow with a special process in orthopedic disorders. It is a widely preferred method in regenerative treatment approaches, especially in orthopaedics and sports medicine.
For BMAC treatment, bone marrow aspiration is first performed from the patient. This procedure is usually performed under light sedation in the operating theatre with a sample taken from the pelvis (hip bone) region. The bone marrow is processed and filtered using a centrifuge to produce a concentrated mixture of stem cells and growth factors.
This concentrate is injected into the damaged area to stimulate regeneration and healing of the damaged tissues. Especially in degenerative joint diseases, when biological treatment options such as BMAC are tried before surgical intervention, patients can gain time before surgery. The regenerative properties of stem cells accelerate the healing process and allow patients to return to active life in a shorter time.
BMAC stands out as a promising method in cases where the self-renewal capacity of articular cartilage is limited. It is used to repair cartilage tissue and improve joint function in degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, especially in the knee and hip joints. BMAC promotes the regeneration of cartilage cells and improves mobility by reducing pain. Since materials obtained from the patient’s own body are used, biological compatibility is at the highest level.
Tendon and ligament injuries are frequently seen in athletes and active individuals. In cases such as Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff tears and medial epicondylitis, BMAC application accelerates the healing of tendon tissue. The regenerative properties of stem cells provide a faster and more effective healing process in such injuries.
Stem cells derived from bone marrow have bone healing accelerating properties. BMAC can be used to accelerate the healing process of fractures that are difficult to fuse or prolong the healing process. In addition, in cases of bone loss, this application promotes the regeneration of bone tissue.
Meniscus tears are among the common injuries in the knee joint. Since the healing potential of the meniscus is limited, biological therapies such as BMAC can be used as a support in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscal repair to promote regeneration of meniscal tissue.
In conditions such as avascular necrosis of the hip head, where blood circulation is impaired resulting in the death of bone tissue, BMAC contributes to the regeneration of bone tissue by improving blood supply in cases where necrotic bones are surgically removed.
As a result, orthobiological applications such as BMAC offer non-surgical and regenerative solutions in the field of orthopaedics, providing effective results in joint diseases, tendon injuries and other soft tissue problems.
