This video features a 6-month post-procedure check-in shared by Dr. Don Buford at Texas Orthobiologics, focusing on a patient who used cellular therapy as a non-surgical option for knee arthritis.
Key Highlights:
- The Treatment: The patient underwent a comprehensive bone marrow stem cell procedure. Dr. Buford performed both intraosseous (directly into the bone tissue) and intra-articular (into the joint space) injections utilizing cells harvested from her own iliac crest (hip bone).
- Results at 6 Months:
- Improved Mobility: The patient describes her daily knee joint movement as "tremendously different and better."
- Pain Reduction: Before the procedure, the patient suffered from debilitating pain that made it difficult to walk and regularly woke her up during the night. Six months later, she reports that she no longer experiences that kind of severe, disruptive pain at all.
- Overall Improvement: She estimates that her knee is 80% to 85% better overall compared to how it felt before the injections.
