This video features a 6-week post-procedure follow-up shared by Dr. Don Buford at Texas Orthobiologics, documenting a patient's rapid progress following a non-surgical intervention for knee pain.
Key Highlights:
- The Treatment: The patient received a targeted Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection in her left knee six weeks prior to this check-in.
- Daily Improvement: She notes that she is now able to turn around easily and lift items comfortably—simple everyday movements that she was unable to perform without pain before the procedure.
- Mobility & Comfort Check: On camera, the patient demonstrates an excellent range of motion, fully extending her left knee out straight and bending it completely back. She reports zero pain and zero swelling during these movements.
- Overall Progression: The patient estimates that her knee is already 80% better compared to its condition before the injection. Dr. Buford notes that seeing an 80% improvement at just six weeks is a fantastic milestone, as the healing effects are expected to continue building for another couple of months.

Every patient is different, and a video is not a promise of the same result. If you want to know whether an orthobiologic or surgical option fits your own injury, that starts with an exam and imaging — not a video.
