An Update on Knee Stem Cell Injections for an Unstable Mensicus

Last month I blogged on a patient treated with stem cell injections to treat a knee coronary ligament injury which was causing an unstable meniscus. She had failed numerous surgeries. And while all patient’s knee stem cell injections experience will be different, here’s an update on her story: Hi Dr. Hanson,  For the past three…read more

Going Green Alert: CFLs Damage Skin progenitor Cells

Who knew that going green would be a problem? I must say that despite living in the greenest city in the US (Boulder, CO), my wife resisted putting in Compact Fluorescent bulbs when I bought them a few years back. When I finally sneaked in a few this past year, I have to admit that the light didn’t…read more

Does a blood stem cell collection beat a marrow stem cell collection? I often get asked by pateints to explain the claims of stem cell clinics.

Regenexx-SD Data

First, while I had planned to release the new book today, some hang ups on the cover art has made that more like likely to happen tomorrow. Instead, I’d thought I’d share some very preliminary Regenexx-SD data on knee arthritis patients I just got yesterday. We now spend massive amounts of money on data collection in our patients.

Three Hip CAM/Pincer FAI Surgeries and still Hip Pain?

As you likely know from my previous posts, I’m not a huge fan of hip CAM/Pincer or FAI surgery for most patients.
