    Dr. George C. Chang Chien describes the common hip and knee conditions that can be treated by regenerative medicine procedures, as well as the diagnostic approaches used. He discusses the anatomy of the hip and knee and their injection targets in detail. A case study in knee pain is also discussed at length.

    Dr. Gabor Racz first describes the scarring triangle as a concept. It is scar tissue that is located in-between the L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and the S1 nerve root and above the L5-S1 disc. The scarring triangle poses a problem for catheters and other procedures such as spinal fusions. A case study in pain is discussed, as are other examples of the scarring triangle.

    Dr. Kort Gronbach discusses dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation for treating pain. He first outlines the benefits of DRG stimulation, highlighting that DRG stimulation corresponds to anatomy much better than dorsal column stimulation. He then describes the implant procedure, including patient positioning, needle entry point and trajectory, epidural access, and DRG targeting. He concludes by describing case studies that influenced his current standard operating procedures.
