Hi Only49,
there have been several news reports about this new treatment - it does look promising doesn't it.
SpeedyI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -
Hi sylv
this is very good news - think Airwave pointed it out too - I am very pleased
Lets hope it helps lots of us on here
Love

Very interesting, thanks for posting!
I wonder if it's just helpful in osteo, not inflammatory types.0 -
Hi only 49
Thanks for pointing this out and I've read the article. It's interesting and I wish they would use me as a guinea pig!!! I don't seem to have any other option but to have another TKR - it takes a good few years for this type of research to trickle down to other regions. I'll certainly ask when I see my consultant again.
