Meniscus transplant patient testimonial - 7 month post op. 

Hello, George. Sorry to hear this was not offered to you during your care. The #StoneResearchFoundation has published numerous studies in prestigious medical journals demonstrating the efficacy of meniscus transplantation www.stoneresearch.org/meniscus. Change does not always move quickly and universally in the medical industry so this procedure is not yet widely adopted. We've helped many, many patients of your age throughout the years who are too young for a knee replacement, but still enduring painful arthritis that limits them to a couch potato lifestyle. You can learn more about the procedure at www.stoneclinic.com/bioknee. If you are interested in learning how we can help you specifically, you may arrange for a complimentary consultation to at www.stoneclinic.com/consult

I feel you, if it did work why only 3k subscribers?

You can't run..i've seen all these testimonials..not one of them talks about running..

Hello, how do you feel now? I went through posterior meniscus removal 5 years back and have a chronic knee pain since then. Would you recommend an allograft?

@@koolnaal21 Hi Ken, having our meniscus trimmed & removed never helps our joint, meniscectomy surgeon's think we'll manage fine but within months I was facing arthritis due to the cartilage I lost. You'll be the same. Thanks for asking... funnily enough my wait took longer than usual, I'm actually 17 days post operation now ! So in the early days still. They found grade 2 arthritis in my joint so the upside is at least the allograft is stopping that getting any worse. The transplant fit in well according to them. My knee bending - even with daily rehab exercises is very limited, slowly but surely going to get the knee bend function back but may just take a few months seen as this op was big. Any other questions welcome Ken

@@koolnaal21 Just to add... Yes! It is crucial to stop the arthritis getting worse, it would be handy to know your age? I'm 24 in a month & this allograft was crucial. Because of the transplant.. even though I have arthritis, I won't worsen that arthritis... until I'm at the age where it naturally would happen, hope it makes sense.

@@fitnessbasicsuk thanks a lot for the info. This helps. May I ask where you did the transplant?

Ellen, Ohhh, Ellen: How did your surgery go? I may get the same thing.

How did it go??

Me too
