“Long-term Comparative Outcomes of All-Inside Versus Inside-Out Repair of Bucket-Handle Meniscal Tears: A Cohort Study” with Author Dr. Aaron Krych, MD

Feb 11 2025 14 mins  
The evolution of all-inside meniscal repair technology has given sports medicine surgeons an efficient, less invasive, yet more costly option to address meniscus tears. How does it compare in the long-run against the classic inside-out technique? Dr. Aaron Krych, MD and his team at Mayo Clinic examine this question specifically for bucket-handle tears, a situation that can typicall

"Characterizing Treatment Credibility, Treatment Expectancy, and Symptom Expectancy in Patients Before Nonoperative Treatment for Degenerative Meniscus Tears" with Authors Dr. Nomi Weiss-Laxer, PhD, MPH, MA & Dr. Leslie Bisson, MD

Dec 10 2024 25 mins  
Meniscus tears have historically been treated with arthroscopy. However, compelling data has shown that this surgery does not work for degenerative meniscus tears. Physical therapy, conversely, has been shown to be a more effective measure for the degenerative meniscus tear, and is a more reasonable first-line measure compared to arthroscopic menisectomy. Still, the public's percep

“Medial Meniscectomy at the Time of ACL Reconstruction Is Associated With Postoperative Anterior Tibial Translation: A Retrospective Analysis” with Author Dr. Andrew Fithian, MD

Nov 12 2024 22 mins  
The Medial Meniscus is a known secondary stabilizer to the ACL in terms of anterior tibial translation in the knee. So what happens after ACL reconstruction if the medial meniscus is deficient? Dr. Andrew Fithian, MD joins us to discuss his study addressing this very question. Coming to us from Kaiser Permanente San Diego, Dr. Fithian and his team investigated postoperative anterio

“Lower Extremity Injury Rates on Artificial Turf Versus Natural Grass Surface in the NFL During the 2021 and 2022 Seasons” with Author Dr. Brian Feeley, MD

Oct 15 2024 18 mins  
As another exciting NFL season kicks off, Sports Medicine community members and fans alike continue to ponder whether the risk of lower extremity injury is higher on artificial turf versus grass. We welcome UCSF’s Chief of Sports Medicine & Shoulder Surgery and host of the podcast 6-8 Weeks: Perspectives on Sports Medicine, Dr. Brian Feeley, MD to discuss his team’s recent publ

“Clinical Results of Primary Repair Versus Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament” with Authors Dr. Kyle Kunze, MD & Dr. Benedict Nwachukwu, MD, MBA

Sep 17 2024 18 mins  
Historically, ACL repair resulted in poor outcomes and this procedure fell out of favor while ACL reconstruction became the gold-standard surgical approach for a torn ACL. Recently, thanks in part to the advent of more modern techniques, ACL repair has regained interest in the Sports Medicine community as a potentially viable option in certain situations that may provide advantages

“The Buford Complex Redefined: A Pathologic Morphology in Sheep’s Clothing” with Author Dr. Eric Edmonds, MD

Aug 13 2024 12 mins  
One of the long-standing assumptions in Sports Medicine is that anterosuperior labral variants including the Buford Complex and Sublabral Foramen are non-pathologic, normal anatomic variants of the shoulder joint. But is this true? Dr. Eric Edmonds from Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego challenges this assumption and our accepted practice of ignoring these findings when obser

“Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilization in High School Football Players” with Author Dr. Andrew Pennock, MD

Jul 09 2024 13 mins  
Failure of shoulder stabilization surgery continues to plague contact athletes. Football players are thus at high risk of a repeat shoulder dislocation even after a well-done surgery to stabilize that joint. Such is the nature of a sport with violent and unpredictable collisions. Dr. Andrew Pennock, MD and his team at Rady Children’s in San Diego investigated the outcomes for hig

“Association Between Psychological Readiness to Return to Sports at 3 Months Postoperatively and Risk of Second ACL Injury” with Author Dr. Takehiko Matsushita, MD, PhD

Jun 11 2024 16 mins  
Second ACL injuries, whether it be a tear of the ipsilateral ACL graft or the native contralateral ACL, continue to be of great concern to patients and sports medicine practitioners particularly during the first 1-2 years after surgery. Sending a patient back too early to play is widely considered a major risk factor for this 2nd injury. As health care providers, we take pride in t

“Does Tibial Tuberosity Osteotomy Improve Outcomes When Combined with Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in the Presence of Increased Tibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove Distance? – A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis“ with Dr. Mininder

Apr 16 2024 15 mins  
The right surgery for recurrent patellofemoral instability remains a topic of controversy. While medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) is the standby surgical procedure for this condition, many adjuncts including tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) are performed concurrently with the hope of improving the chances of success. Historically, a tibial tubercle-trochlear gro

“Effects of Perioperative Blood Flow Restriction Therapy Program on Early Quadriceps Strength and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction” with author Dr. Kelechi Okoroha, MD

Mar 12 2024 12 mins  
Despite our technological advances in ACL surgery, the rehabilitation period remains challenging, particularly when it comes to lingering quadriceps weakness. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy has been introduced as a potential means to speed up the return of quad function. We welcome Dr. Kelechi Okoroha from the Mayo Clinic to discuss his high-level study, “Effects of Periope
