[Text on screen: Timothy Miller, MD Sports Medicine] Speaker Timothy Miller, MD: We're constantly looking for new and better ways to do surgery, make it more safe, and minimize the risk of complications. Speaker 2: This new procedure strengthens the repair by moving the knots away from the injury site. [News article related to a new heel surgery technique] [Video clip of surgeons in an operating room] [Text on screen: Experimental Plastic Meniscus Could Offer Relief To Patients With Chronic Knee Pain] Speaker 3: Doctors at Ohio State University have completed the first surgery to implant a plastic meniscus into a patient. [Video of new reporters] Speaker Chris Wragge: Doctors in Ohio have completed a first of its kind surgery using a plastic meniscus. CbS News' Terry Okita has this report. [Video clip of patient, Drake Ross, being interviewed in his home] Speaker Drake Ross: I'm looking forward to be pain free. I have real bad arthritis too, and that's part of what, you know, contributed. [Video clip of surgeons using a plastic meniscus during surgery] Speaker 4: Drake is the first person in the U.S. to receive a plastic meniscus. During an experimental surgery, doctors at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center implanted the device, which replaces most of the damaged meniscus. Speaker 5: So new techniques to preserve knee function in the hopes of, kind of, avoiding, or at least delaying, a knee replacement—it's a big deal. [Video shows a news articles related to a new plastic meniscus knee replacement]. Speaker 6: It may sound like science fiction, but it is real. Doctors are growing human tissue in a lab in an effort to fix knee cartilage. [Text on screen: Dr. David Flanigan Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center] Speaker Dr. David Flanigan: Unfortunately, cartilage, once it's injured, it's really difficult to repair. We don't have an intrinsic healing potential for it. Speaker 7: So doctors are testing this: human cartilage that was grown in a lab. Speaker 8: And, if it proves successful, it could change the future of knee surgery as we know it. Speaker 9: Six weeks ago, doctors took cartilage cells from a healthy part of Taylor's knee and sent those cells to a lab where scientists began growing them.

[Video clip of Dr. Matt Briggs performing dry needling on Alex Pierce] Speaker 13: So Alex met with physical therapist Matt Briggs of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, who performed a therapy called dry needling. Speaker 14: In a new study, experts at Ohio State University are inserting needles directly into problem areas, hoping to help with a condition known as runner's knee—a painful and persistent problem with very few treatment options. Speaker 15: As for the name, it's called dry needling because there are no steroids or medications involved. [Various news articles related to dry needling] Speaker 16: You probably heard all kinds of advice about what's causing your knee, hip, and back pain. Well now a physical therapist at Ohio State says it could be dormant butt syndrome. [Video clip of Physical Therapist, Dr. Chris Kolba, working with a patient] [Anatomical video clip of the gluteus maximus] Speaker Dr. Chris Kolba: It basically refers to the gluteus maximus, or the glute muscles, just not functioning as efficiently as they should.
