This video documents a five-and-a-half-month post-procedure evaluation with Dr. Don Buford and his patient, Mr. Weaver, who received a single bone marrow-derived stem cell injection in his right knee. Prior to the procedure, the patient suffered from advanced, "bone-on-bone" degenerative joint changes that left him barely able to walk. Seeking a non-operative solution to avoid major knee surgery, he opted to undergo the autologous, ultrasound-guided injection in the office without trying prior steroid shots or physical therapy.
At five and a half months out, Mr. Weaver reports outstanding progress, stating that his treated right knee has officially become his "good side." He first noticed steady improvement within four to six weeks, and by the four-month mark, the joint felt completely solid and as good as it ever was. A physical examination confirms that he has regained a full range of motion with zero mobility restrictions, and he emphasizes that he would absolutely choose to undergo the stem cell procedure again.
