Advancing the field of regenerative medicine through rigorous scientific inquiry and clinical trials.
Areas of Focus
Pioneering Non-Surgical Solutions
Dr. Ferrell's research focuses on the efficacy of orthobiologics in treating musculoskeletal conditions. His work aims to validate and refine protocols for using a patient's own cells to heal injuries.
- Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT): Investigating its potential for cartilage regeneration in knee osteoarthritis.
- Rotator Cuff Repair: Studying non-surgical alternatives for partial and full-thickness tears using MFAT and PRP.
- Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC): Exploring its role in treating severe joint degeneration and tendon pathologies.
Current Clinical Trials
Dr. Ferrell is currently leading a groundbreaking clinical trial for partial rotator cuff tears, powered by a $1M grant to the Orthobiologic Research Institute.
Partial Rotator Cuff Tear – MFAT Research Study
