Dr Justin Roe is an Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon. Regeneus could be considered a direct competitor to his business. He states
"The fact is that this procedure didn't work - it was never going to work - it's not based on good clinical evidence unfortunately"
That is a false, misleading statement. Hilary Richards had a knee reconstruction 1 year after the HiQCell procedure. She had advanced osteoarthritis, suggesting she wasn't suitable for the procedure. She wanted HighQCell to replace the need for a knee reconstruction. As Regeneus have stated, the treatment is not a replacement for reconstructive surgery. It is more suited for patients with early signs of osteoarthritis, delaying the need for a knee replacement and reducing pain and swelling in the mean time.
Perhaps Regeneus need to be more selective when offering the treatment. Either way, Dr Justin Roe's negative and unwarranted comments merely support his business. When it comes to mainstream media, it's important to realise that......it's all bullshit with intertwined vested interests.
