This video is a 2-day post-operative testimonial featuring Dr. Don Buford and his patient, Bryce.
Bryce previously tried PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments for a meniscus tear, but the relief only lasted for about four to six weeks. Because the mechanical symptoms and pain persisted, he underwent an arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy and chondroplasty. At just two days post-surgery, Bryce is already off crutches and experiencing zero pain, noting that the sharp pain he used to feel even while resting on his side is entirely gone. He demonstrates a great range of motion, and Dr. Buford clears him to begin walking and using a stationary bike.

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.
