Patients in their own words ...

“The improvement from what I could do then to what I can do now is like night and day..I am enjoying life like it used to be.”
Gary, Meniscus allograft transplant
“Eleven years later I’m very active. The only thing I don’t do is run. However I do bike 100 to 150 miles a week, I surf, play golf, and snowboard. I’ve enjoyed having my life back and having an active life back”
Tim R., BioKnee
“I'm 6.5 years out. At 41 years old, I play competitive ice hockey, train intensely, and have very little pain, if any, in my medial transplant knee. Outstanding result.”
Rich W., Meniscus allograft transplant
“Dr. Stone’s surgery has been a revelation to me, it’s totally enabled me to continue being who I am which is way more than just the sports that I do. It's part of my personality and I’m thrilled.”
Emily S., Endurance Athlete, BioKnee
“I was told I was never going to ski again. And I came back. I did two ski films. Some of my best ski film work. I signed with Völkl International and have had the best three years of my professional skiing career.”
Matt R., Pro skier, BioKnee

MAKOPlasty partial knee replacement testimonial - 6 months post op

Submitted by admin on 13 November 2018

An old running injury had developed into bone-on-bone arthritis for our patient. She had a MAKOPlasty partial knee replacement. She reports that her recovery has been amazing. Six months after the operation she was on a hiking trip to Italy, hiking 10 miles a day up hills and on cobbled streets, on and off trains and buses. From day one she started PT and rehab. "I just would encourage anyone, if this is an option for your condition, to do it!"

Aging Impact Score

We have all become hypersensitized to the effects of the things around us, the activities we do, and the food we put into our bodies. If each activity has a negative and positive effect, can we score them? Here is my effort to create the “Stone Aging Impact Score” with each activity having a negative or positive effect on a scale of minus 10 to plus 10.

Why ACL Repairs Fail
Why ACL Repairs Fail
For decades there have been unsuccessful efforts to repair the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after rupture. Why? Because the forces required to tear the complex weave of the ACL’s collagen fibers involve both tearing and pulling apart. Think of a climbing rope: When overstretched the rope fails within its sheath, not just at a single clean edge. Here is why the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament is most often replaced (reconstructed) rather than repaired.
