This video is a 3.5-month post-operative testimonial featuring Dr. Don Buford and his patient, Ashton, a young athlete.
Ashton had suffered from a full-thickness trochlear cartilage defect in her right knee, experiencing symptoms for about a year before seeking treatment. She underwent knee surgery followed two weeks later by a bone marrow-derived stem cell procedure harvested from her iliac crest. Currently, she is entirely pain-free with normal joint mobility and a full range of motion. Having previously been restricted from high-impact sports, Dr. Buford clears her to begin running and resuming recreational activities.
