Meniscus tears, mixed with a dash of sports

The 2022 football season is underway, and already key players such as Zach Wilson, the quarterback of the New York Jets have not played a down yet due to a torn meniscus suffered early this preseason. In this show Orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, Dr. Grant Garcia discusses the torn meniscus and more importantly the technology, and decision-making between reparation versus preservation. Also discussed are... - Not all patients are alike - Age limit on repair? - Radial tears: A lack of blood flow complicating the healing process - Meniscus tears combined with ACL - Cartledge damage is the key - Meniscus deficiency syndrome: When to transplant - Future Tech - Scaffolds: What is it - When and why: Preserving the knee - Does Dr. Garcia have a fantasy football team? An informative show for all. Also, try to count how many times I said “last question”, but the conversation was too good to end right there. Take a listen and as always, we hope you learn something along the way.
