Most likely, the results would have been the same with the stem cells. Where did you find statistics stating that stem cell actually works on partial tears? It seems to work on arthritis and inflammation, but what about the ligment itself?

The Vet-Stem technology is not using embryonic stem cells, but adult stem cells extracted from the fat tissue of the patient. To understand this technology please read my article Stem Cells for Dogs?DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-32562370091144236622010-01-30T12:06:50.307-05:002010-01-30T12:06:50.307-05:00There have already been hundreds of protests going...There have already been hundreds of protests going on against humans, I wonder what they will do to dogs.<br />GillyGilly Newmanhttp://www.princetoncryo.com/control-rate-freezer.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-15485668980510665062010-01-14T14:40:19.513-05:002010-01-14T14:40:19.513-05:00Hi Bob!

If the injury was a major trauma to an otherwise healthy ligament, then the other leg will remain fine. More often than not though, the ACL tear is a result of an ongoing degenerative process, rather than a one time injury. In that case, it's only DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-82905686926413315182010-01-14T12:03:30.122-05:002010-01-14T12:03:30.122-05:00Jana...what a great story!

And the stem cells do really improve the healing when combined with the proper surgery. A number of veterinarians are now considering using the stem cells in the "normal-appearing" opposite knee when a knee surgery is done, this to help repair the damage that probably Dr. Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00767309903906866917noreply@blogger.com
