Interventional Orthopedics Training – What Patients Should Know About Their Doctor
Recently, we’ve noticed several physicians advertising that they have completed “stem cell fellowship training”. So what is this and is it a real medical fellowship in the same way your cardiologist or other specialist went through fellowship training, or is it something else? What is Fellowship Training? A fellowship is usually a dedicated 1-2 year…read more Can Patients with an ACL Tear Avoid Surgery?
One of the more astounding things I’ve seen stem cells do in my decade long use of the orthobiologic is heal ACL tears that should have needed surgery. We’ve amassed a great library of before and after films that never cease to blow me away. However, the proof as they say is in the pudding.…read more Steroids are Awful: More Evidence for Steroid Stem Cell Toxicity

Now a new study questions the wisdom of those recommendations. First, the ACL is a main stabilizing ligament of the knee. When…read more Are Rotator Cuff Tears a Stem Cell Problem?
Your rotator cuff has stem cells and gets sick when the number of those stem cells wane. That seems to be what a few different studies are telling us including a new one out last month from stem cell pioneer Phillpe Hernigou. The obvious implication being that to make the rotator cuff healthy, you need…read more Huge ACL Surgery Cost Burden May Be Reduced by Injections Over Surgery…
The average ACL surgery cost in the U.S. is about $10-12,000. However, is there a cheaper alternative that uses an injection of your own stem cells without the need for surgery?
