I’m down at our licensed site in Grand Cayman this and next week, working with patients who flew here to access the many advanced stem cell and platelet technologies we offer. Last night I had dinner with the family at one of our favorite places to eat on Seven Mile Beach. The above picture is of the early evening sky (plus a filter). I hear it’s snowing back in Boulder!
This next week I’ll be on “Island Time,” when blogging usually slows a bit. Having said that, it’s also a great way to spend quality time with my family while I’m working and to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean spring breezes!
The Regenexx-C procedure is not approved by the US FDA and is only offered in countries via license where culture expanded autologous cells are permitted via local regulations.
Pass on my best to Tony (one of your patients)… I sat next to him on the flight over from London this week to Cayman and he only had great things to say about his procedure. I’ll be in touch about my ACL very soon… enjoy island time!

Has anyone on here had an injection on their hip instead of a hip replacement surgery? How is it working out for you?
Would like to read the answer to Nora’s question regarding the hip.
I am also interested in Nora’s question and any answer?
Irene and Judy and Nora,
I believe Nora has asked for Patients who have had procedures instead of hip replacements to respond. That said, there is much information on the website about Hip Procedures, Hip Outcomes and Hip Data:https://regenexx.com/the-regenexx-procedures/hip-surgery/ https://regenexx.com/recent-results/hip-case-results/ Hips are the one joint of the body for which age (55 and over) can affect the robustness of outcome.
I have a 16 year old soccer player that had ACL surgery 6/2015 and her ACL is continually loose, even playing with a Bregg custom brace. She does not want to have surgery again and would like to play soccer at the next level in 2017. Is she a candidate for this procedure?
Yes, we can treat about 70% of ACL tears without surgery. See https://regenexx.com/regenexx-acl-repair-for-torn-anterior-cruciate-ligament/
Sorry, I should add to my comment. She has had extensive PT and works 1v1 with a trainer 1x a week for the last 9 months. She had a hamstring graft for her ACL replacement.
Suzanne, yes that sounds like something we can generally treat. This sounds similar to a recent case of a college soccer athlete on his second ACL graft, see https://regenexx.com/blog/acl-surgery-failure/
