This video features a patient testimonial from David Corgan, sharing his experience about a month after undergoing a bone marrow concentrate (BMC) stem cell procedure for knee arthritis on his left knee.
- Before the Procedure: David explains that his knee felt like it was only at about 40% functionality. He experienced a fair amount of swelling and could not bend it properly.
- The Experience: He describes the process of having the bone marrow harvested as a little painful and a very unusual feeling, while the injection itself into the knee was much easier. He was able to walk straight out of the office following the treatment, experiencing some stiffness and soreness for about a week.
- Recovery and Results: One month later, David reports that his knee is at 90% to 95% functionality with zero swelling. The doctor checks his range of motion, noting a significant improvement in straightening and bending the knee, and clears him to start squatting and returning to normal activities.

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.
