Alan M. Lazar, MD, FACS
Alan M. Lazar, MD, FACS is a board-certified general orthopedic surgeon in Plantation, Florida who specializes in arthroscopic surgery, reconstructive surgery, orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, and ultrasound guided injections for platelet rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell treatments. Dr. Lazar offers a wide range of holistic therapies, non-surgical, and minimally invasive surgical therapies and procedures for orthopedic injuries and osteoarthritis. He is board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is fluent in both English and Spanish.
Dr. Lazar studied with America's leading experts in the use of PRP, stem cells, and fat injections to treat torn tendons, ligaments, and osteoarthritis. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an in-office procedure where Dr. Lazar removes a minimal amount of a patient’s blood, stem cells, and fat and injects the combined fluid into an injured area or an arthritic joint. This platelet regeneration therapy procedure concentrates the platelets in the patient’s blood. The bioactive tissue growth factors are released when the platelets are placed in the injured area. These factors are known to stimulate the healing cascade in musculoskeletal injuries and arthritis.
Medical researchers are reporting remarkable results using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in the treatment of common injuries, including tendonitis, the regeneration of cartilage in osteoarthritis of the thumbs, knees and hips, and in non-surgical repair of rotator cuff tears. Published studies show restoration and smoothing of roughened cartilage, improved range of motion, and resolution of pain in osteoarthritis of hips, knees and shoulders. Many other conditions respond to prolotherapy with PRP, including injuries to the back, neck, jaw, elbows, shoulders, hands, hips, knees, ankles and feet.
Dr. Lazar has been practicing in South Florida for more than 30 years and has medical staff privileges at Westside Regional Medical Center and Out Patient Surgical Services in Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In addition, Dr. Lazar is the expert medical consultant on Regenerative Injection Therapy for Appalachian State University athletics in Boone, North Carolina.
Since 1992, Dr. Lazar has served as Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery, at Nova Southeastern University’s Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of the Physician’s Assistant Sciences, College of Allied Health at Nova Southeastern University and serves on the Board of Trustees, Outpatient Surgical Services in Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dr. Lazar is certified in age management (anti-aging) medicine by Cenegenics.
