Hello @awcamanda and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I understand you wanting to do as much as possible in a minimally invasive way. Because others have also started a discussion on the same topic, I have moved your post into the existing discussion to allow all of you to connect and share.

Members like @darlenesass @cobweb and @saeternes have been part of this original conversation on stem cell transplant for knees and may have new information and/or experiences to share with you. Also, I see the wonderful @loribmt has joined and shared a link to some great information that may be useful to you as you explore this option.

What is the biggest draw for you for this option?
