This is a YouTube video titled "Can Regenerative Therapy Fix A Bad Knee?" featuring Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter discussing the effectiveness of regenerative therapies for severe knee deformities, recorded on May 3, 2025.
The research suggests that when we have a significant deformity, it doesn't last as long.
We're going to do our very best to preserve your joint as best we can. But at the end of the day, if you have a severe deformity, regenerative therapies may not be as effective as you want. They almost always get some percentage of relief. I've had people who come into the office, and I've really tried to talk them out of doing regenerative therapies. I'm like, hey, we need to really think more seriously about having a knee replacement. Your knee is really badly deformed, and they go through with a biologics therapy and they do great. They get pain relief. But the problem is, the research suggests that when we have a significant deformity, it doesn't last as long, and that that deformity can progress. You know, it doesn't do much to slow down the deformity.
