Our patient was a competitive gymnast for 15 years and unfortunately tore her ACL and meniscus during a floor routine. Since then, she has had multiple surgeries to repair her meniscus. Doctors told her it would be an ongoing issue and she should plan to have a total knee replacement early in life. She wanted to stay active playing sports, hiking, and rock climbing and it was depressing for her to think about a life without these activities. After reading about meniscus transplants, she went to talk to various doctors who made her feel as though she would be a guinea pig for the procedure. After finding The Stone Clinic, Dr. Stone reassured her that the transplant would allow her to return to her active life. One year later, she is back rock climbing and just did her first bike race ( after not being able to bike for 10 years prior to the procedure). She says, " It's like I have a brand new knee.'
Injury-related osteoarthritis is not something you have to grin and bear. It is a fixable condition. There are alternatives to treating knees, which can help delay or avoid an artificial knee replacement. Even in cases with advanced damage, knees can be biologically reconstructed by carefully regenerating and rebuilding tissues instead of cutting out large parts and replacing them with metal and plastic.
Dr. Stone developed the BioKnee program to replace, regenerate or rebuild damaged portions of knee cartilage and injured ligaments using advanced biologic techniques, including a stem cell paste graft and a meniscus transplant while preserving as much of the natural biology of your knee as possible.
Dr. Stone is one of the world’s leading experts in meniscus transplantation and a pioneer of biologic orthopedic techniques. For over 25 years, he and his team have specialized in giving people back their vital meniscus shock absorbers, keeping the knee moving naturally, and reducing the likelihood of a total knee replacement.
