Hello from Beijing! Look what I did today! It was spectacular! A gorgeous crisp Autumn day as we hiked a lesser visited section of The Great Wall. My knees held up great! Thanks so much for your support & working with me to get these knees in good shape for this special day that I have dreamed of since 6th grade! I hiked to the 20th watch tower, which is the farthest tourists can go on this section.
Thank you for giving me my knee back.” She’s a young mom who was in constant pain because of a cartilage defect on her patella (kneecap). I did an Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation on her patella (ACI) where we took a sample of her own cartilage and grew it in a lab and put it back in her knee. We also shifted her kneecap (tibial tubercle osteotomy) so it would not cause future issues.
