Let me start this message by saying Dr Brian Cole was recommended by three other orthopedic surgeons. He is rated one of the best in the nation for cartilage restoration. I can thoroughly say that I am disappointed in him and his office . I was injured in March of 2023. I was a deputy that was injured in the line of duty and already received one surgery. I was then fired because I could not do my job anymore. The county stopped all pay and benefits and the workmans comp insurance denied everything. The first surgery was not enough and these three separate independent orthopedic surgeons agreed and recommended a cartilage graph/restoration. All three recommended Dr. Cole I tried on multiple occasions to schedule an appointment with his office and was met with no understanding or sympathy. I called multiple times to get a straight answer. Finally after multiple calls and inquiring I only got a straight answer out of them when I told them I had a lawyer. Their answer was that they would not see me because my workmans comp case is under litigation. They would not even see me with my own insurance. They kept saying it was “policy”. What policy restricts medical care to anyone? Isn't it an ethical question to be asking why would you do this? I am severely disappointed in my treatment and what it went through to get an answer. I should never have to bring up a lawyer to get an answer. Even after explaining that I was a peace officer and was hurt in the line of duty, I was shrugged off like a peddler on the street. I am just trying to get my life back, and not spend it looking out a window. If this is how they treat anyone that is in a fight to get their life back, anyone in uniform, or just in general, is disappointing. The workmans comp litigation can take 2 years. I am not waiting 2 years to get my life back. Being denied medical treatment and the poor treatment by staff is just not right.

I had this surgery last month❤

Doc, you are a legend

It's pretty much the best video on the internet for cartilage lesions. Thanks for citing all the studies, too. Do you provide an MRI review service? Thanks

Thank you for sharing this video of the rotator cuff surgery. A lot of people think that this is easy but it’s not.

I just when through all that and the recovering is very hard and painful. For real only God can give me the strength.

so if it tears again in the future will you feel it or will you not feel any pain at the time? or just notice loss of range of motion randomly?

Thanks for sharing this video this information is great 👍 ❤🎉

So what does a person do when they have tried all the things this Dr. says and their knee is still in horrible pain?

took me a second to realize this video is sped up and theyre not frantcially drilling and hammering this poor leg 😭

Thanks

If I understand, for a large defect >2cm² OATS with "plugs" (Mukai) would be more appropriate than AutoGraft because I guess there would not be enough cartilage taken from cleaning the "walls". But what if one has several <2cm² defects, with total sufrace >2 or even 4cm²: Would AutoGraft procedure be okay? Thank you

About to have this surgery at 25 years old after an injury 2 years ago. Haven't been able to find much info about this method

I am working on roundoff back handspring

So what happens after the 10 years?

God bless our Doctors 🙏

I don’t ask patients to restrict activities, while that’s great, the pain is too intense. I’ve fallen. So that type of advice I always find annoying.

Thoughts on Subchondraplasty?

You can change your diet, less carbs, more fats. It works wonderfully.

My name is Judy I had gastric bypass surgery 12 years ago. I recently found out I have arthritis in my hands ,arms and neck. The pain is terrible. I have inflammation bad. What can I take for pain that will help the pain. I have taken an anti inflammatory pill 200 to 400ml Tylenol s does nothing It takes a long time to see a specialist .Thanku

I still cant believe i had this done 😮

I might have to have this procedure on the medial side of my knee. Do pts have to take antirejection drugs for life after this surgery?

If wish this kind of therapies were available in my country😭😭😭 My pain is super, super unbeatable in both shoulders and I'm pretty sure I have rotator cuff tears in both shoulders as well. I am 42 and know my life is over. My arms are getting weaker by the day. I can't use them. Even the slightest movement makes noise in my shoulder and gives me pain. Now human being on the planet should have to go through this!!!!!! Even had to stop my business because of these injuries😭 if only some research company or someone could help me!!!!!! PLEAS, PLEAS, PLEASE, PLEAS anybody out there.South Africa.My symptoms are insane. Both elbows and both shoulders are in crazy pain and making loud cracking noises. Are there now rich people on the planet that has a heart💔💔💔😔 The serious injuries are giving me anxiety. I don't want 2 shoulders and 2 elbow replacements at 42.Pleas,pleas, pleas, pleas can someone help me!!!!!!!!!! PLEAS. I need serious free help. Come on America. You are the richest and most powerful country in the world.Help me pleas! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 my pain is from out of this world

I want to buy this

Thank you so much doctor! Very relevant video which helped me take a decision :) I have had 2 surgeries so far: 1x ACL replacement, 1x menisectomy and now I will do a third...(again menisectomy). My doctor estimated that i will remain with roughly 30% left medial meniscus. I will not ubdergo transplant unless i will feel pain after returning to sports. I am 33 yesrs old and i am playing soccer.

Where is the patients foot?

Why does nobody ever talk about shoulder cartilage defects?

Dr Cole, Diagnosed w/a bruised coccyx at the age of four, which was actually an S4/S5 upper motor neuron lesion (the first of several along my spine), the resulting spasticity absolutely wrecked my body & every subsequent injury introduced so much spasmed tissue that as an adult I had to be medically retired from the military because I was so broken. Then, a tib/fib break saw me "shrink my world" (your STEM Talk w/TheIHMC) down to where I couldn't do anything, at all, ever. I also couldn't afford physical therapy so I started teaching/treating myself. Basically, I learned to do intense tendon manipulation to release ANY/ALL spasticity by weaponizing reciprocal/autogenic inhibition + overriding pain's descending pathway which locked in the spasmed tissue at the time of the injury. The surgery following my tib/fib break was absolutely necessary, but the foot reconstruction to correct my pes planus that resulted in a destroyed marriage & lost career wasn't, and I'm sure a lot more people get hardware unnecessarily installed that won't solve their soft tissue problems, but will actually just make them worse. How do I make what I know/can do common knowledge so that people have a better understanding of their bodies & the ability to heal themselves? None of my pitfalls would've happened if I had a better understanding, but I wouldn't have a better understanding if those pitfalls didn't occur; c'est la vie, non?

My 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with a 1x1.5cm OCD on her right knee 8 weeks ago. It’s considered a classic site on the lateral side of her medial femoral condyle. She is a very competitive athlete. She had just made a national level soccer team. She was a starter and considered to be the best in our state. She is a winger and known for her speed. We’ve been told she will never be as fast again. We’ve been told she will deal with this repetitively coming back. We’ve been told she will eventually deal with it in the other knee. We are devastated. She is 12yo with open growth plates. 5’7” and 125 lbs of solid muscle… so it’s a lot of weight on her joints. I have searched the internet for months and cannot find any success stories. NONE. I feel like everyone indirectly suggesting we give up sports because they know that the reality of an OCD diagnosis in elite athletes is not favorable. Do you know of a single female soccer player that returned?

Thanks for information Doctor

Really it is avery nice case

Had this surgery 4 years ago it was a massive fail. I am now 2 months PO total knee replacement.

cost?

Excellent presentation

How feasible are osteochondral allografts on the tibial plateau? That's what I'm dealing with, looking for a surgeon that has experience with cartilage defects at this location

Is incredible how you doctors are super amazingly 🙏🏻 your technology to perform this kind of surgery so professional too god bless 🙏🏻 you and stuff for the amazing job 🙏🏻

I just had my rotator cuff and biceps with surgery in July this coming Tuesday a be two weeks after surgery im in recovery now wearing my sling my doctor told only shower take it off , so far im feeling a little better now . My doctor did an amazingly job 🙏🏻

Just recovering from this right now !

Massively torn rotators, rt bicep torn. 67 yrs old male. Thinking to let it be! No surgeries

Why can't this be done to large defected areas of the wrist?

This was awesome You made a hole in the humerus head No screws to hold in place or you just sewed it to the supraspinatus tendon?

Never had issues with my knees and work in a warehouse for 2 years. Got a complex meniscus then doctor only treat the OA never tear after a year tear is there. Tried it ALL nothing helped. PRP, Cortisone, Durolane never helped.

Your contact please

Age brother, football, sports, i cant walk now

What's your position on cartilage regeneration?
