| ORTHOPEDIC RESEARCH |
THE DISCOVERER OF MORPHOANGIOGENESIS, the process by which growth hormone rejuvenates adult bone and adult blood vessels into fetal structures which produce stem cells. These stem cells can be used to treat a variety of diseases and can also support regeneration of the cartilage surface of joints. (see publications)
THE DISCOVERER OF AN ACCESSORY VASCULAR SYSTEM IN CARTILAGE, a heretofore unknown direct connection between the general circulation and all of the cells in the cartilage joint surface.
THE DISCOVERER OF THE IAGH PROCESS, intra-articular injections of growth hormone (IAGH) to regenerate articular cartilage. The first to use IAGH injections to regenerate articular cartilage (1965).

EXPANSION OF FDA CLINICAL TRIAL. The high success rate of the injected knees, with minimal side effects, led Dr. Dunn to expand his clinical treatments to include other joints and to determine the most effective doses and frequency of IAGH injections. Results of IAGH treatment of the joints will be included in future FDA studies. Dr. Dunn has treated more than 200 patients with IAGH injection.
