I'd like to know as well. My sister had the traditional way done with using the tendon. One was successful, one was not and had to be redone!! Not a fan of this particular surgery.

Welcome @annastyle4u, I don't know the answer to your question but if it is something you are interested in knowing, your best bet in finding out is speaking with someone at Mayo Clinic's Regenerative Medicine (link is in the post above by Justin McClannahan). Here's a Mayo Clinic Q and A: Stem cell therapy for arthritis from 2018 that mentions there is still a lot of research going on in the field - https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-stem-cell-therapy-for-arthritis/

Do you have bone on bone joints in your thumb or fingers?
