I'd been told my cartilage was torn (orthopedic doctor and imaging) and I needed surgery that was about three years ago, that my running days were numbered. My knee was injured to where I couldn't go for recreational walks. Over the years I've partially healed and re-injured one knee or the other.
After losing weight and cutting out heavy olympic squats my knees fell great, some arthritic pain but very occasional.
Just take a conservative course of action and research. 70% success rate for stem cell bone marrow seems extremely high for that technology. Though when going through a procedure a 90% success rate is obviously a 10% failure rate, which is significant.
