This video features a long-term clinical follow-up shared by Dr. Don Buford at Texas Orthobiologics, highlighting a patient named Becky who enrolled in their Non-Surgical Joint Rejuvenation Program.
Key Highlights:
- The Treatment: The patient presented with moderate-to-advanced arthritis in her right knee. To avoid total knee replacement surgery, she received a targeted Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection.
- Rapid Relief: She notes that the treatment began working almost immediately, with noticeable improvement appearing within just one week. After struggling with pain for a long time, she was quickly able to walk comfortably again.
- Secondary Benefits: Interestingly, resolving her right knee pain corrected her gait, which automatically alleviated a compensatory pain issue she was experiencing in her opposite (left) hip.
- 1-Year Update: At the one-year mark, her treated right knee is still feeling great. She returned to the clinic because her other knee (the left knee) has recently started hurting, and she is consulting with Dr. Buford to address that side using the same approach.

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.
