        Non-Surgical Stem Cell Injection Alternative to Surgery for a torn ACL

        Having torn my ACL 15 years ago and gone through the traditional surgery to rectify the problem I can attest to the 'less than perfect' results. 10 years later a tear on my other ACL left me with meniscus damage and more surgery. For anyone who has ever torn their ACL while skiing this new procedure sounds like a less invasive process and one with better results:

        Regenexx ACL is a site-specific procedure, which utilize a patient’s own stem cells or platelets to help heal partial ACL tears, as well as complete non-retracted anterior cruciate ligament tears. Here is more on this new medical procedure from their website, regenexx.com. 

        If you have ever had stem cells or platelets to help an ACL tear let us know how it went.
