These TV & Radio coverages of MACI are terrific. Millions watch and hear these things and those who have knee problems or have someone close who has knee problems start checking out a new & better procedure. Next thing they are contacting their doctor for more info and this starts the ball rolling for rapid adoption.

Things look very good going forward.

That is good news for this young guy, but seems a rare case. I just wonder what the population of candidates is for this procedure and of this who would be likely to move forward. Also, would like to know how many insurers would accept this and the cost compared to the alternatives. I know most insurance carriers look at a 5 year period before accepting a procedure and even then want a cost savings and better outcomes than what is traditionally used.
