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.
