This video features a patient testimonial shared by Dr. Don Buford, highlighting a remarkably durable, long-term response to an ortho-biologic procedure.
Key Highlights:
- Background & Chronic Knee Issues: Between 2009 and 2015, the patient suffered from ongoing wear, tear, and injuries, resulting in a total of seven knee surgeries between both of her knees.
- The Bone Marrow Procedure: Seeking an alternative to further surgeries, she underwent an in-office bone marrow concentrate (BMC) stem cell injection with Dr. Buford in 2015. She remembers the harvesting and injection process being quite manageable and the overall recovery being simple.
- Long-Term Results: The patient reports that the bone marrow procedure was highly successful and allowed her to remain completely active, doing everything she wanted to do for seven straight years without needing further surgical interventions.
- Reason for the Current Visit: She returned to Dr. Buford's clinic in October 2022 not because the stem cell treatment failed, but because she sustained a fresh injury to her right knee after being accidentally knocked down by a fan at a baseball game (specifically, the historic game where Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run).
