I had an appointment with an Orthopedic surgeon a few days back to schedule a hip replacement surgery. Prior to the meeting, a friend called and said he had heard about some experimental work being done with stem cell usage for hip improvement.
While meeting with the PA, I asked her about the stem cell work being done for bad hips. Her response and I paraphrase was "we've had a few folks in that have been through that process." My response was "did it help them." Her answer back to me being; "They scheduled hip replacement surgery, so evidently not!"
I'm scheduled for Nov 6th to have it replaced.
