Hi all,
For those of you researcher types, I'm curious about your thoughts regarding Denovo NT.
I had surgery two years ago on my right ankle (MF, Biocartilage and BMAC at the Hospital for Special Surgery.) After all my research, this seemed to be the cutting edge treatment. My surgery has not been fully successful and in addition, I likely have the same condition in my left ankle.
As I start thinking about surgery #2 (someday- I'm not ready yet) -- I'm wondering about Denovo NT. I have read several success stories over the last few years but Denovo has fallen off the radar as far as news/updates/trials. I know at HSS my surgeon did not believe it was the best route for long-term success.
But...many people who have it (esp as a 2nd surgery) say it was superior to MF and that they knew right away that their ankle was improved.
Thoughts from anyone? Why isn't Denovo NT in the news anymore (and by "in the news" I mean for those of us that dig around the internet looking for every scrap of info there is to find about OCD.)
