Intraoperative image of a patellar tendon defect treated with stem cells in activated conditioned plasma. The forceps point to the proximal extent of the patellar tendon and the scalpel handle is placed within the defect created in the central portion of the tendon. Note the gelatinous appearance of the ACP (arrow), serving as a carrier for stem cells.
