AJS: It doesn't sound like a Carticel treatment. I'm not a physician, but I know of a couple of people who have so severely damaged their Anterior Crusciate (spelling!) ligament that the ligament had to be replaced with one taken from a cadaver. The two people I know had this surgery, both hurt themselves skiing. As far as I know, both can now walk normally, but avoid skiing. Carticel is for damaged cartilage only. Limiting the pool further, Carticel is not marketed for arthritis victims, but for damage due to injury. Still, GENZL says that there are 100,000 surgeries a year (do I remember this number correctly?) for which Carticel would be applicable. Bobb
