The Stone Clinic has developed a new procedure, called Biologic Knee Replacement, to treat patients who suffer from knee arthritis. This treatment uses human tissue, rather than artificial replacement materials, to repair knee damage so patients are able to maintain an active lifestyle.

The procedure gained momentum among patients in 2006, and media also took note. We’ve included some links below, to point you in the direction of our work.
