I am a 46-year-old athletic male who was told by numerous orthopedic surgeons that I was too young for a total knee replacement and to old for any type of cartilage transplantation. I was told that I needed to decrease my physical activity until I was old enough to undergo a total knee procedure. A friend of mine had recommended that I see Dr. Wall at the Athletic Institute of Medicine, learn more about it. He reported that he had a similar situation and underwent regenerative medicine techniques that allowed him to get back to performing all of his athletic and physical activities of daily living. I am happy that I followed his advice. I underwent a series of 3 injections using my blood platelet rich plasma and a fourth procedure whereby Dr. Wall took bone marrow from my pelvis to obtain what he called medicinal signaling stem cells and injected them into my knee. It has been over a year and I am still able to perform all of my athletic activities. I am grateful to Dr. Wall and the Athletic Institute of Medicine for giving me back my life.
