ACI




Matt had his surgery on his knee today. We arrived at the facility at 8:30 and didn't leave until 4:00. A long day!!! The surgery was very successful. The surgeon removed the damaged parts of cartilage. He then sewed on a collagen cover. After that he injected Matt's own cartilage cells behind the collagen cover. The cells will take a full year to mature! He will be on crutches for 6-8 weeks, and will have to take it easy for a full year. Beware if you have a weak stomach these pics are nasty :D
