Axogen

A.A. replies to questions as he is interviewed by A. Lane from Axogen, Inc. at their national corporate meeting. He had a paralyzed right shoulder after an injury to his spinal accessory nerve. He is now 3 years after Dr. Dellon reconstructed that nerve using an Axogen, Inc. human nerve allograft, called an Avance allograft, instead of having to use one of A’s own (autograft) nerves for the reconstruction. A. can use his right arm almost normally now.
