Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is a common treatment for joint injuries. The invasive therapy involves extracting bone marrow—often from the hip—and concentrating it to preserve stem cells and growth factors, which help promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. The concentrated mixture is then injected into the injury site to speed up tissue repair and reduce inflammation. BMAC can be used on its own or in conjunction with surgery to repair ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears and other injuries.
