Preventing Knee Injuries from Sports with Dr. Tianyi Wang

Knee injuries are exceedingly common—even in younger people who stay active. This includes ligament sprains, meniscus tears, and patellofemoral instability. Injuries can happen both through trauma or wear and tear over time. Though an injury can sideline a young, active person, physicians and orthopedic surgeons have many treatment options. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic orthopedic surgeon Tianyi "Tim" Wang, MD, discuss common knee injuries that affect active people, how they're treated, and how people can prevent common injuries from happening in the first place. Dr. Wang also outlines an innovative new treatment, called Bridge-Enhanced ACL Restoration, that uses an implant to heal torn ligaments.
