The Biologic Knee ReplacementSM Program (BKRSM Program) is our approach to treating knee injuries, from trauma to arthritis, and is designed to help people delay, or even avoid, artificial knee replacement. The BKRSM Program is a scientifically-proven collection of our outpatient surgical techniques and procedures and consists of any combination of meniscus transplantation, articular cartilage stem cell paste grafting, and ligament replacement as explained in further detail below. Being "bone on bone" does not always mean that the joint needs to be artificially replaced. Often the "bone-on-bone" is isolated to a portion of the knee joint and can be repaired using the Biologic Knee ReplacementSM Program. |

![]() | Meniscus TransplantationBy replacing all or a portion of the meniscus with donor cartilage, the patient can regain the natural “shock absorber” in the knee and experience many additional years of activity, even in the presence of arthritis. You can learn more about meniscus replacement surgery at The Stone Clinic by clicking here. |
![]() | Articular Cartilage Stem Cell Paste GraftingThis innovative surgical technique utilizes a patient’s own stem cells to regrow their cartilage in a single, outpatient procedure. This technique has scientifically-proven results in various peer-reviewed publications. You can learn more about the articular cartilage paste graft procedure by clicking here. |
![]() | Ligament ReconstructionDr. Stone has years of experience reconstructing torn or missing anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL), as well as the posterolateral corner, with donor tissue. We feel donor tissue is superior to using a patient’s own tissue. You can learn more about ligament reconstruction at The Stone Clinic by clicking here. |

Supplemental Treatments
There are situations in which Dr. Stone feels that a supplemental treatment such as platelet-rich plasma or lubrication injections may be beneficial to a patient. To learn more, click here.
Growth Factors and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
The administration of growth factors and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is often used in tandem with our procedures for speedy healing of soft-tissue injuries. To learn more about these treatments, click here.
Lubrication Injections
Administering joint lubricating injections in the clinic setting often helps to increase joint motion, decrease the pain of stiff, arthritic joints, and can provide long-lasting relief. To learn more about joint lubrication, click here.
