Regenerative Sports Medicine of Atlanta

Dr. Thomas H. Myers, a Harvard-educated, board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, leads this Atlanta-based sports medicine and orthopaedic practice. He specializes in knee and shoulder care, including sports injuries, ACL reconstruction, and rotator cuff and SLAP tear repairs, and is known for developing medical devices such as the DonJoy Ultrasling Quadrant shoulder brace.

The practice offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections to treat chronic injuries such as tennis and golfer's elbow (epicondylitis), Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, chronic hamstring strains, and patellar tendinitis. PRP is also used for osteoarthritis, though the site notes this use remains experimental and still under study. In addition to regenerative injections, the practice provides MAKOplasty robot-assisted knee replacement for osteoarthritis and other orthopaedic surgical procedures.

PRP is prepared in-office from a small blood draw that is centrifuged to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then injected into the injury site under ultrasound guidance. The process takes about an hour, including a 30-minute centrifuge period, and side effects are described as uncommon since the treatment uses the patient's own blood. The office is transitioning to telehealth-only consultations through August 31, 2026.
