This video highlights a clinical follow-up shared by Dr. Don Buford at Texas Orthobiologics, focusing on a patient who treated arthritis in both knees using advanced cellular therapy to avoid knee replacement surgery.
Key Highlights:
- The Treatment: The patient received a comprehensive bone marrow stem cell procedure using a dual-target approach: intra-articularly (inside the joint space) and intraosseously (directly into the bone). At the time of this check-in, she is two months post-op on her left knee and three months post-op on her right knee.
- Baseline Symptoms: Before undergoing the injections, she regularly suffered from sudden pinching, grabbing pains, and a distressing feeling of instability where her knees felt like they were going to give out—especially when she tried to climb stairs.
- The Ultimate Mobility Test: The patient recently returned from an extensive vacation to Italy, traveling through Rome, Florence, and Venice. Navigating multi-level art museums filled with flights of stairs, she was walking between 15,000 to 20,000 steps every day.
- Results: She reports that over the last three to four weeks, her structural pain and instability have vanished. Despite the heavy demands of her trip, her knees never once felt like they were pinching or giving out.
