Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome and Hip Osteoarthritis: TAME with dHACM Regenerative Injection — Case Report

Author: Bow Wang, M.D.

Mr. T had suffered from pain in his left groin, thigh, and right lateral hip for many years, experiencing stiffness and decreased flexibility due to pain. After consultation and examination, Bow Wang, M.D. diagnosed him with mild osteoarthritis of the left hip and greater trochanteric pain syndrome of the right hip. After discussion, Transarterial Microembolization (TAME), TAME, was performed on Mr. T.

Under X-ray fluoroscopy guidance and local anesthesia, Bow Wang, M.D. performed a puncture of the inguinal artery, inserting a microcatheter into the painful area. Under angiography, embolizing medication was then injected through the microcatheter.

After treatment, Mr. T experienced reduced pain and improved mobility in both hips. After a period of time, Bow Wang, M.D. performed amniotic fluid suspension hyperplasia injections (dHACM injection) on Mr. T's lower back, buttocks, and both hips. Following these treatments, Mr. T's pain and mobility improved further.

【Transarterial Microembolization (TAME), TAME】is suitable for hip disorders, including 【greater trochanteric pain syndrome】 and 【mild to moderate】【osteoarthritis of the hip】. However, in Bow Wang, M.D.'s personal experience, the effect of 【Transarterial Microembolization (TAME), TAME】is less effective for patients who have undergone surgery or have severe degeneration.

【Transarterial Microembolization (TAME), TAME】, 【prolotherapy】, 【PRP injection】, 【dHACM injection】, and other regenerative injection therapy are treatments that Bow Wang, M.D. frequently performs for patients. When the above treatments are ineffective, nerve block and radiofrequency ablation are alternative pain management methods offered by Bow Wang, M.D..
