[QUOTE="Semper Fi, post: 173636, member: 38887"] I just got back from a consultation with Regenexx of Raleigh, NC. A national operation. I have a full tear (1.1 x 1.1 cm) of of the supraspinatus at the enthesis and a small interstitial tear of the infraspinatus. These are two of the 3 tendons that make up the rotator cuff. I will be 71 in May. the Doc. was very honest and said that with that degree of tear along with my age he would put the chance of fixing my shoulder was less that 25%. Cost was $6,700. I had already been to a shoulder specialist at Duke and he said he thought he could fix it but I was put off by the long recovery time. I have a farm and ride horses etc and didn't want to be out of commission for the proposed recovery time. Thus my interest in stem cell therapy. Even with stem cell, if it worked you still have a pretty long recovery period where you can't be active. Therefor, I have decided to go with the operation this coming winter. Hope this helps some. Oh yea, 70% of people my age have some degree of rotor cuff tear just due to wear and tear (not due to a fall etc). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
