The Stone Clinic

The Stone Clinic 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 effec

tive 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.

Surfers remind the rest of us that joy is not separate from recovery.

It is often what makes lifelong training possible. On the Surf Mastery podcast, Dr. Stone discusses injury, longevity, and why fitness works best when it stays connected to the sport, community, and that feeling that keeps you coming back.

AI can bring better information into every stage of care.

But information alone does not produce better outcomes. In this week’s blog, Dr. Stone looks at how AI can support the doctor-patient relationship while still leaving room for the judgment, experience, and shared goals that medicine requires.

ACL surgery can restore stability. But it does not always prevent arthritis.

Half of the people who tear their ACL develop osteoarthritis (OA) within 10 years.

In this week’s blog, Dr. Stone asks why arthritis prevention is not built into every ACL repair, and how advanced orthopaedic medicine now offers athletes a different path.

Healing starts with signals.

After injury, the body recruits cells, organizes cleanup, and rebuilds tissue through a coordinated process.

In this week's blog "Exosomes: The Hot Spot in Biologic Injections," Dr. Stone explains where exosomes fit into that process and how they are part of a shift towards healing without surgical intervention.

You tore your ACL. Do you fix it immediately? Or wait?

Both paths have logic. Both have risks. And the answer is not as clear as athletes might expect.

In this week’s blog, Dr. Stone examines the timing of ACL surgery and why the decision is less about protocol and more about judgment.
