ABC News / Health has posted a story of Patricia Beals, a patient that we recently highlighted on the Regenexx Blog.
Story: Last year, Patricia Beals was told she’d need a double knee replacement to repair her severely arthritic knees or she’d probably spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Hoping to avoid surgery, Beals, 72, opted instead for an experimental treatment that involved harvesting stem cells from her hip, concentrating the cells in a centrifuge and injecting them back into her damaged joints.
