This video features a patient testimonial shared by Dr. Don Buford regarding a patient's recovery following regenerative medicine treatments for right knee arthritis.
The treatment plan and the patient's outcomes include:
- Initial Treatment: The patient began with a bone marrow-derived stem cell injection to treat her arthritis.
- Secondary Boost: When her recovery didn't progress as rapidly as hoped, Dr. Buford provided a follow-up Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) booster injection.
- Overall Results: Following the booster, the patient reported excellent results. She noted regaining full extension of her knee, being able to bend and pick items up without pain, and no longer walking with a limp.
- Patient Feedback: Despite initial anxiety regarding the bone marrow harvesting process, the patient emphasized that the results made it completely worth it and stated she would absolutely undergo the procedure again if needed.

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.
