This video is an 8-day post-operative patient testimonial featuring Dr. Don Buford and his patient, Kevin.
Medical Background & Progress
- Procedure: Kevin received a bone marrow concentrate (BMC) stem cell injection to treat an ACL tear and a medial meniscus tear, combined with a primary surgical repair for a severe medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury.
- Mobility: At just over a week post-surgery, Kevin achieves full knee extension and is already bearing full weight on his leg while wearing an unlocked brace. He demonstrates a heel slide, achieving about 90° of flexion.
- Pain & Rehab: Kevin reports experiencing very little pain, rating it a 1 out of 10. He is currently managing his recovery and range-of-motion exercises on his own rather than attending formal physical therapy.
