I'm doing some research on the Internet about bone grafting. I may have to have this done if the break in my leg bone doesn't start healing up better than it is. I keep seeing reference to "minor" and "major" complications. It sure seems to me like they all sound major. How are these different? 3 weeks 3 days ago 30
When a surgeon does a bone graft procedure, how long does it take for the graft to "take" so-to-speak? I'm just wondering because my sister just had this done and I want her to be in my wedding next month. 3 weeks 3 days ago 34
I saw a very interesting TV special on ways to stop arthritis before it starts. One that they mentioned but didn't say much more about was the use of our own platelet cells injected into the joints. How does this work exactly? Aren't platelets what help blood clot? Wouldn't clots be a problem in the joints? 4 weeks 2 days ago 38
I've heard they are using blood injections to cure tennis elbow and other tendon problems. What about joint problems? Can I get an injection of my own blood put in my arthritic knees? Is this idea getting any press? 4 weeks 2 days ago 38
What ever happened to stem cell research? I thought this was going to be the miracle cure for all diseases including arthritic joints. I'm definitely interested! 5 weeks 3 days ago 44
