Mr. Summerfeldts, a former star player for the Norwegian National Basketball Team, had undergone six knee surgeries and lived in constant pain. He had forfeited his Wake Forest basketball scholarship. Manhattan College took a chance on him and invited him to join their team.

Dr. Steven Victor, CEO of IntelliCell BioSciences, said “We are very proud that our proprietary technology used by Dr. Maddalo was able to rehabilitate Torgims’s knees and alleviate his pain. Sports related injuries are a predominate focus for our Company. Doctors using our proprietary technology have treated several professional and college athletes with excellent results. Patients have seen cartilage regrow in the knee. We are about to start a multi-center study for several sports injury indications at major centers. We are fortunate to have several top orthopedic surgeons on our advisory board such as; Dr. Andrews, Dr. Hackel, Dr. Dugas and Dr. Nicola. We believe the 2012–2013 years will see significant revenues from the use of our technology to treat athletes. We believe that this is a $1.3 billion market opportunity just in the United States.
