I was in a group called the Cell Surgical Network with a few hundred physicians and we had done a long term IRB study, institutional review board study, mostly looking at the safety of stem cell use over many years. Think about a decade. We started about 2014 in our studies and others found that most people who had stem cell therapy for their joints did not need knee replacements, did not need joint replacements. The stem cells were sufficient. Something that might need to be repeated, like a joint replacement would fail over time. This can put off a joint replacement. It.
