68 Year Old Avoids Knee Surgery Thanks to Stem Cell Therapy
Regenerative Orthopedic Case of the Week:
DW is a 68 year old female with 6 month history of right knee pain without trauma. Complains of aching pain and instability sensation in the lateral knee along with swelling and catching sensation. Symptoms increase with walking, standing and flexing the knee. Recently, pain has been increasing. Xray showed mild arthritis and MRI showed a lateral meniscus tear.
After discussing treatment options including scope surgery, she decided to proceed with stem cell therapy injected both into the knee and directly into the meniscus tear.
Today, 3 months out from treatment, her pain that was 4/10 with activity is completely gone. Instability and catching sensation are gone. She is back to bowling without pain symptoms.
Come see Regenerative Orthopedics can do for you!! I have been performing regenerative stem cell therapy treatments since 2014.
