Question:
Can anyone confirm that Juli Furtado underwent a procedure called Autologous Chondrocyte Transplant on her knee? This would have been a year or two ago before her tragic battle with lupus. I cannot find out whether the knee surgery was successful or not. Thanks.
I don’t remember what the procedure was called, but I’m pretty sure she did have reconstructive surgery done and it worked. That’s another reason why she was so disappointed to get Lupus, because finally her knee was much better. JD —

She did have the experimental surgery where they grow cartilage from your own tissue samples and then put it back into your body.
