Biologic knee replacement

Biologic knee replacement involves various combination’s of replacing the missing knee joint meniscus cartilage with a donor tissue, repairing or re-growing the damaged articular cartilage… (usually with a stem cell paste graft technique), and replacing the damaged ligaments of the knee.  Biologic knee replacement is preferred over bionic or artificial knee replacement by younger active people who want to delay or avoid total knee replacement.  Our patients have ranged from teenagers to marathon runners in their 70’s and everyday people in between.  The advantage of biologic procedures are that they can be performed as an outpatient, arthroscopic procedure as opposed to the inpatient, open surgical procedures that artificial joint replacement requires.  Biologic procedures can be easily revised if re-injured and permit most sports.  Further details of biologic knee replacement are posted at www.stoneclinic.com
