This video features a follow-up consultation between Dr. Don Buford and his patient, Dawn, regarding her left knee. Dawn was originally diagnosed with left knee arthritis roughly two and a half years prior, at which point she received a steroid injection to help manage the condition.
The video notes that the initial steroid shot successfully kept her pain-free and without physical restrictions for about two years. However, she has returned to the clinic because the same knee pain reemerged roughly two months ago, and this visit is focused on evaluating her current symptoms to determine the next steps in her treatment.

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.
