The US sports press continues to focus on the way in which modern medicine has helped an injured pitcher, Bartolo Colon return to his 2005 Cy Young Award form.
A feature in yesterday's Philadelphia Daily News focused on the procedure by Dr. Joseph Purita of Florida and a Dominican team of physicians, which involved taking fat and healthy bone-marrow cells and injecting them into a damaged elbow and shoulder, succeeding in restoring the pitcher to prime condition.
The feature agrees with Dr. Purita's statement that the future of sports medicine has just begun now.
