Here are four insights:

 

1. Dr. Tally injected Vivex Biomedical’s MIAMI adult stem cells into a patient’s dehydrated intervertebral discs.

 

2. This case was the first spine procedure to use these stem cells.

 

3. Athens Orthopedic Clinic is a research site for the MIAMI cells.

 

4. The MIAMI cells are inducible and potent.

 

“The outcomes of the procedure will hopefully improve the patient’s back symptoms by bending the curve of the normal trajectory of early disc degeneration,” said Dr. Tally.
