We take a biologic approach to treating joint injuries and arthritis, preserving as much of the natu World-renowned orthopedic surgeon, Kevin R.

We make every effort to regenerate and rebuild joints rather than replace them with metals and plastics. We can stimulate and augment the body’s own natural healing response using bioactive growth factors. We simply do not settle for doing things the way they have always been done in orthopedic surgery. We are driven to innovate: to invent tools to make surgery more efficient, to design more effective procedures, and to find ways to speed up the healing process. We strive constantly to improve our patients’ experience

By integrating physical therapy into our practice we help patients heal quicker. Our goal is to have our patients return fitter, faster and stronger than they were before they were hurt. Stone, MD, leads the clinic. He is passionate about improving surgical techniques and finding new ways to speed up healing. The clinic offers same-day onsite diagnosis with a complete physical exam, in-office digital x-ray and extremity MRI, if necessary. We've recently deepened our commitment to keeping athletes active for life by expanding our services to spine care. Our new BioSpineFit Program led by Robert Savala, MD harnesses the power of regenerative injections to help relieve pain and get you back to the sports you love--all while avoiding spinal surgery.

Stone Research Foundation advances regenerative therapies designed to accelerate healing and treat, prevent, and cure arthritis. For Susan, that work meant a real chance to restore her ankle and reclaim her active life. 🏔️

Today, Susan is doing things that had been out of reach for more than a decade and has made a full return to high-level activity.

Susan’s outcome shows what ArtCart can mean for one person, and Susan wants that future for others: “I wish that more people could benefit from this surgery.”

Susan’s hope is ours too. Your support helps SRF advance treatments like ArtCart, strengthening the science so people can live to age 100 playing the sport they love.

is proud to announce new evidence for an approach to ankle care. 📝

For people with ankle injuries and post-traumatic ankle arthritis, treatment options that preserve the natural joint and the patient's quality of life remain limited. The two common choices, ankle fusion and ankle replacement, significantly affect ankle function and carry a risk of long-term complications, impacting not only an active lifestyle but everyday activities. There is a clear need for better solutions.

SRF’s newly published study in JCJP - The Journal of Cartilage & Joint Preservation explores a much-needed alternative. This work examines how our Articular Cartilage Paste Graft (ArtCart) technique can be adapted to treat the ankle. This one-step technique uses a patient’s own bone and cartilage to repair damaged areas, with the goal of reducing pain, improving function, and preserving the natural ankle.

Patients in the study reported less pain, less grinding, and improved ankle stability. Most returned to high-demand sports, and none required ankle fusion or ankle replacement during the study’s follow-up period, with some followed for more than 15 years.

SRF remains committed to giving patients suffering from OA better options, using research to expand orthopaedic care and offer alternatives before life-altering surgeries.
