(WFLA) When Judy Loar, 68, could not bear to walk any longer due to excruciating pain in both of her knees from degenerative joint disease, she did what most people in her condition do, she went in for a surgical knee replacement.

After being released, Loar found out her knee cap had been set incorrectly. 

Going through surgery again to fix her other knee was not an option, so Loar started researching other alternatives to ease the agony of bone-on-bone friction caused by her condition.

"I really did my research, because I knew I could go through another major surgery," said Loar who became a patient of Dr. Dennis Lox.

Dr. Lox is the founder and medical director of Tampa-based Florida Spine and Sports Medicine Center, and one of the world's leading doctors specializing in using stem cell therapy as an alternative to successfully treat debilitating injuries or conditions.

Loar describes the procedure as painless, with no down time.

The shoulder is the one of the most flexible parts of the human body. Unfortunately, the flexibility of the shoulder makes it an extremely fragile joint.
Anatomy of the Shoulder

The shoulder joint is composed of three bones:
i. Clavicle (collarbone)
ii. Scapula (shoulder blade)
iii. Humerus (upper arm bone).

Two joints facilitate shoulder movement:

The acromioclavicular joint is located between the acromion ( that part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle.

The glenohumeral joint, commonly called the shoulder joint, is a ball-and-socket type joint that helps move the shoulder forward and backward and allows the arm to rotate in a circular fashion or hinge out and up away from the body. (The "ball," or humerus is the top rounded portion of the upper arm bone; the "socket," or glenoid is a dish-shaped part of the outer edge of the scapula into which the ball fits.) The capsule is a soft tissue envelope that encircles the glenohumeral joint. It is lined by a thin, smooth synovial membrane.

Most ball and socket joints are constructed of a large socket into which the ball fits nicely. This is a very stable type of joint. The shoulder joint, on the other hand, is made up of a ball which is larger than the socket. This is not a very stable type of joint.

Because the shoulder's ball-and-socket joint provides little inherent stability, it is highly dependent on the surrounding soft tissues such as the capsule, ligaments and muscles to hold the ball in place. The relative instability of the shoulder joint allows it to be highly mobile, thus allowing an individual to place the hand in numerous positions.

The bones of the shoulder are held in place by muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Tendons are tough cords of tissue that attach the shoulder muscles to bone and assist the muscles in moving the shoulder. The rotator cuff is a structure composed of tendons that work along with associated muscles to hold the ball at the top of the humerus in the glenoid socket; it provides mobility and strength to the shoulder joint

Ligaments attach shoulder bones to each other, providing stability. For example, the front of the joint capsule is anchored by three glenohumeral ligaments. Two filmy sac-like structures called bursae permit smooth gliding between bones, muscles, and tendons. They cushion and protect the rotator cuff from the bony arch of the acromion.

Muscles are bundles of specialized tissue that attach to, and move bones via their tendons.

The rotator cuff consists of four muscles and several tendons that form a covering around the top of the upper arm bone (humerus). These muscles form a cover around the head of the humerus. The rotator cuff holds the humerus in place in the shoulder joint and enables the arm to rotate.

Two filmy sac-like structures called bursae permit smooth gliding between bones, muscles, and tendons. They cushion and protect the rotator cuff from the bony arch of the acromion.

The shoulder is susceptible to numerous injuries, some of the more common injuries are listed below. To learn more, just click on the title.

Hip - Avascular Necrosis

Avascular Necrosis of the Hip: Dr. Lox Treats with Stem Cells

Dr. Lox | http://www.drlox.com/ | Call (844) 440-8503

Dr. Dennis Lox a Sports and Regenerative Medicine Specialist has treated his share of difficult cases. Avascular necrosis (AVN) also referred to as ischemic necrosis and osteonecrosis, occurs when the blood flood flow to the bone is disrupted leading to bone cell death (necrosis). The problem with this is that if the necrotic zone collapses, it leads to rapid secondary osteoarthritis (joint destruction). The leading cause of AVN is trauma. Many famous athlete have had avascular necrosis of the hip (Bo Jackson and Brett Favre). Bo Jackson never played professional football again after he was tackled and injured his hip. Favre was lucky, the secondary arthritis never set in, and his avascular necrosis of the hip remained stable. Despite occasional hip pain.

The prognosis for Brett Favre is eventual osteoarthritis of his hip. The utility of stem cells in the management of Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is multifold. Acute effects are aimed at increasing blood flow through angiogenesis. Secondly, the stem cells may produce new bone cells via differentiation, thirdly, the stem cells may exert a positive effect on the joint, preventing secondary osteoarthritis. All three combined is excellent. Yet, just preventing the secondary arthritis may be enough to keep a patient functional and prevent a total hip joint replacement.

When a patient presents with hip AVN, all these considerations are weighed and measured. It is through such an approach that optimal out comes occurs.
