Stem cells were once seen as pluripotent cells that were going to cure all diseases. The science is revealing that the story is more complicated than a super cell coming to the rescue.

19 years and going STRONG! We couldn’t be happier to see Andie thriving, conquering triathlons and mountains alike after her cartilage repair in 2001 at @stoneclinic. Read Andie’s #StoneClinicPatientStory in her own words below. - In December of 2001 I had the articular cartilage transplantation surgery on my right knee. I followed the protocol every step of the way. This included electric stimulation, CPM machine several hours per day, 30 days of non-weight bearing on ...my right knee, glucosamine/chondroitin supplements and physical therapy sessions. I was able to continue working as a teacher, albeit from a chair, and successfully care for myself while I was living alone at that time. I have had no problems since! I am back to my active lifestyle, and I’m probably more active now than I was then! I compete in USA-sanctioned triathlons. I have won my age bracket several times and/or place in the top 3. I also place in the top 10 for overall women in these events. I’ve qualified for the National Age Group Triathlon Championships the last 3 years. The events I train for are usually in the fall so my training seriously starts in early August- swimming, road biking and running. I swim in my school (I’m a high school teacher) pool and the lake/river, road ride and trail run in my small mountain town. During the summer months I usually travel and do mostly mountain biking for fun. (I have moved on from dirt biking since I’m older now and can’t afford to fall!). I backpack in the Sierras for days at a time also. I snowboard in the winter months and cross country ski. Overall, I’m able to live the active life I love and haven’t been hindered by my knee. I’m not necessarily competing in bazillions of events, as you can see. I think twice about running on pavement and prefer running on the trails or beach. I don’t play volleyball anymore, nor racquetball, both of which were part of my routine. My decision was partly due to my knee and partly because my lifestyle changed. -Andie H.

From an orthopaedist’s point of view, the COVID-19 story is far from over & still poorly understood. Here are a few points from Dr. Stone that may wake you up. https://mailchi.mp/stoneclinic.com/sailing-knees-2573816 #StoneClinicBlog #COVID19 #CoronaVirus #PublicHealth #PersonalHealth #Healthcare #CDC #ViralInfection #COVIDprevention #COVIDtesting #COVID19Vaccine #Vaccine #ImmuneResponse #COVIDsafety #SafetyTips #PublicSafety

Many children and youth athletes are set down an inevitable path of early arthritis due to meniscectomy repairs that remove a significant portion of the meniscus cartilage in an attempt to relieve the pain from the damage to the meniscus. The removal of this critical shock absorber leads to more surgery, more joint pain, and bone-on-bone arthritis over time, which is why Dr. Stone opts to replace the meniscus with a transplant whenever possible. An injury during her youth a...lmost set Sara down a path towards osteoarthritis. However, this is Sara 10 years after her meniscus transplantation from her BioKnee. 10 years that could've been spent in inactivity and pain management instead were spent enjoying yoga, skiing, & hiking with her family. You may learn more about Sara's story and treatment here: https://www.stoneclinic.com//30-year-old-avoids-arthritis- Tell Us Your Story We want to hear all of your stories.
