ADCT Treatment - Autologous Disc Chondrocyte Transplantation - Bertagnoli

ADCT Treatment

I've researched fibrin sealant as well as a bit of stem cell as alternatives to the more invasive procedures, ADR and fusion, and sincerely impressed if not slightly amazed by the positive, but still early on, reviews of patient outcomes. Just wanted to ask if anyone has undergone ADCT in Europe? Anyone know anyone who has?

As our friend sportsnut says, it'll be "2082" before the US figures out what ADCT stands for so I hold no real hope of being a recipient of this treatment here in the states and considering perusing it with Dr. Bertagnoli of ProSpine.

LOL, I said 2028. But have you looked up the wallis device? I dont know if there are any dreadful stories about it. But it is less invasive than fusion/adr. Its been in europe for 15 years or so. It is for discogenic type pain. Again, something that may help prevent fusion, taking forever to get here. There is good reason to be cautious with anything, especially adrs, but this has 15 years of experience. It is in trials here in states.
