This video features a brief patient testimonial shared by Dr. Don Buford at Texas Orthobiologics, focusing on the patient's actual experience during a regenerative procedure.
Key Highlights:
- The Injury: The patient sought out a non-surgical option for a partial rotator cuff tear in his shoulder—an injury he jokingly mentions sustaining during an unexpected "wrestling match with a donkey."
- The Procedure: Dr. Buford performed a Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) injection, which involves harvesting cells from the patient's own bone marrow and precisely injecting them into the tear site to stimulate healing.
- Patient Experience: When asked about the harvesting and injection process, the patient notes that it was much easier than expected. He experienced "a little bit of pressure" during the procedure, but found it completely bearable and described the overall experience as "awesome."

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.
