This video features a 2-month post-procedure follow-up shared by Dr. Don Buford at Texas Orthobiologics, highlighting a patient's rapid recovery and functional improvement after a knee treatment.
Key Highlights:
- The Treatment: The patient received an intraosseous bone marrow concentrate (BMC) "stem cell" injection in her right knee to address localized knee pain and arthritis.
- The Ultimate Mobility Test: Just six weeks after her injection, the patient traveled to France to visit family. She notes that the trip was highly physically demanding, requiring her to walk more than she ever had before. She successfully navigated going in and out of the metro stations and walking up and down countless stairs without severe pain.
- Overall Outcome: At the two-month mark, Dr. Buford asks the patient to rate her improvement. She enthusiastically states that her knee feels 90% better compared to before the procedure, adding that she didn't even have to consciously think about her knee during her daily movements.

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.
