    186: From Defect to Comeback: Modern Cartilage Treatment Strategies: Dr. Aaron Krych LIVE at AOSSM 2026

    Recorded live from the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) Annual Meeting in Seattle, Dr. Aaron Krych joins Drs. Catherine Logan and Ashley Bassett for an in-depth discussion on the rapidly evolving field of cartilage restoration. The conversation explores how treatment has shifted from simply filling cartilage defects to restoring the entire knee joint through comprehensive patient evaluation, biologic innovations, and advanced surgical techniques. The Evolution of Cartilage Restoration Why focal cartilage defects should be viewed as a "whole joint disease"Moving beyond isolated microfractureThe growing importance of correcting alignment, instability, and meniscal deficiencyEarlier intervention in young athletic patients to preserve long-term joint healthUnderstanding Natural History Why untreated cartilage defects can enlarge over timeRisk factors for lesion progression and development of secondary cartilage injuriesCounseling patients on long-term consequences and timing of interventionModern Treatment Algorithms Why strict size-based algorithms are becoming less relevantPatient-specific factors influencing procedure selection:AgeActivity levelDefect size and locationSubchondral bone involvementPrevious surgeryOverall joint healthDiagnostic Evaluation The expanding role of advanced MRIWhen diagnostic arthroscopy remains essentialEmerging applications of nano-arthroscopy for:Preoperative lesion evaluationAssessment of graft incorporationEvaluation of persistent postoperative symptomsSingle-Stage Cartilage Restoration Techniques AutoCart Single-stage autologous cartilage restorationSurgical technique pearlsCartilage harvest using GraftNet technologyPRP/BMAC augmentationTechnical considerations for successful implantationOsteochondral Options When bone involvement changes the treatment strategyIndications for:Osteochondral Autograft Transfer (OATS)Fresh Osteochondral Allograft TransplantationChoosing between autograft and allograft techniquesAlignment Matters Why cartilage restoration cannot succeed in an overloaded compartmentIndications for combining osteotomy with cartilage restorationMedial high tibial osteotomy (HTO)Distal femoral osteotomy (DFO)Benefits of patient-specific instrumentation for osteotomy planning and executionLessons Learned Dr. Krych shares valuable experience on why successful cartilage restoration depends on more than the graft itself. Key factors influencing outcomes include: Proper patient selectionMechanical alignmentKnee stabilityMeniscal integrityPatient commitment to rehabilitationKey Takeaways Cartilage restoration has evolved from treating isolated defects to preserving the entire joint.Modern decision-making is individualized rather than based solely on defect size.Addressing alignment, instability, and meniscal deficiency is often just as important as restoring cartilage.Biologic augmentation and single-stage procedures continue to expand treatment options.Successful outcomes rely on appropriate patient selection and meticulous surgical technique.Featured Guest Dr. Aaron Krych is an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at Mayo Clinic specializing in cartilage restoration, complex knee preservation, ligament reconstruction, and sports-related injuries.

    183. LIVE (REBOOT) from AOSSM: Challenging Cartilage Injuries (Dr. Sabrina Strickland & Dr. Seth Sherman)

    Dr. Sabrina Strickland is an associate professor of orthopaedic surgery and an attending surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery . She is active member of many societies and research groups, including the International Cartilage Repair Society and the International Patellofemoral Study Group. Dr. Seth Sherman is the Director of the Sports Medicine Fellowship at Stanford University Orthopaedics and is a Stanford University Football team physician. He is Chairman of the AAOS Sports Medicine/Arthroscopy committee and is also a member of the International Patellofemoral Study Group. Both Dr. Strickland and Dr. Sherman publish and lecture extensively on the topic of knee joint preservation, cartilage restoration and specifically patellofemoral cartilage disease - so we’re excited to hear them speak more this topic! We are narrowing the focus of our conversation today to osteotomies. We just did a two-part episode with Dr. Cassandra Lee that tackles all the different cartilage restoration options for the patellofemoral joint. So go check that out if you want to hear more about when to choose OATS vs. OCA vs. MACI. But for today: let’s chat about osteotomies. In this episode, we discuss: What are some key findings to look for on exam and imaging to determine if a realignment osteotomy is needed? We are familiar with the tibial tubercle trochlear groove (TT-TG) measurement, but what is the Sagittal TT-TG (sTT-TG) distance and what does it tell us? How should a tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) be customized to address different areas of cartilage pathology? (Check out our Instagram - @thesportsdocspod - to see different types of TTOs based on location of cartilage lesion and/or presence of instability in the setting of malalignment.) How can the TTO surgical technique be modified to minimize risk of complications when performing a complete tubercle detachment? Image 3 shows four surgical tips for lessening complication risk. There are other osteotomies besides TTO to address patellofemoral pathology — including a derotational distal femoral osteotomy. What are the indications for this procedure?

    182: Overtime – Can Exercise Improve PRP? Exploring Exercise-Mobilized Platelet-Rich Plasma

    Could something as simple as a 20-minute bike ride improve the quality of platelet-rich plasma? In this episode of Overtime with The Sports Docs, Drs. Ashley Bassett and Catherine Logan explore an intriguing laboratory study examining whether exercise performed immediately before a PRP blood draw can enhance the cellular composition of platelet-rich plasma. As biologic therapies continue to expand throughout sports medicine, optimizing PRP has become increasingly important. While most discussions focus on centrifuge systems, platelet concentrations, leukocyte content, and injection techniques, this study introduces another potential variable: the patient. The authors found that a brief bout of vigorous exercise significantly increased platelet concentrations and mobilized hematopoietic progenitor cells, raising the possibility that exercise could serve as a simple, low-cost strategy to optimize biologic treatments. In This Episode, We Discuss:  The fundamentals of PRP and how it works  Why PRP variability remains one of the biggest challenges in interpreting the literature  Conditions with the strongest evidence supporting PRP:  Knee osteoarthritis  Lateral epicondylitis  Patellar tendinopathy  Plantar fasciitis  The concept of exercise-mobilized PRP  Differences between plasma-based and buffy coat PRP systems  Whether higher platelet concentrations actually translate into improved clinical outcomes  How this research may influence real-world PRP protocols Study Breakdown Study Design: Prospective laboratory study Participants: 20 healthy volunteers (ages 21–45 years) Exercise Protocol:  5-minute warm-up  20 minutes of cycling  Target heart rate: 70–85% of predicted maximum Blood samples were obtained before and immediately after exercise and processed using two PRP systems: ACP System (plasma-based PRP) Angel System (buffy coat PRP) Key Findings Whole Blood Changes After Exercise  Platelet count increased approximately 22% White blood cell count increased approximately 50%ACP System  Platelet concentration increased from approximately: 457,000/µL → 562,000/µLAngel System  Platelet concentration increased from approximately: 2.95 million/µL → 3.77 million/µL PRP volume increased  Hematopoietic progenitor cell concentrations increased significantly Why This Matters The study suggests that patient physiology before blood collection may significantly influence the final biologic product. A brief exercise session may:  Increase platelet yield  Mobilize progenitor cells  Potentially enhance biologic activity  Provide a low-cost method to optimize PRP preparation For clinicians performing biologic injections, exercise may become another controllable variable alongside:  PRP preparation system  Centrifuge settings  Leukocyte concentration  Injection technique Clinical Pearls ✔ PRP is not a single product. Composition varies substantially between systems. ✔ Patient factors may influence PRP quality just as much as centrifuge settings. ✔ Twenty minutes of exercise increased platelet concentrations in both PRP systems. ✔ Buffy coat systems demonstrated increased progenitor cell concentrations. ✔ The clinical significance of these changes remains unknown. The Big Question Does exercise-enhanced PRP actually improve patient outcomes? This study demonstrates changes in laboratory measurements, but it does not tell us whether patients:  Heal faster  Experience less pain  Return to sport sooner  Demonstrate better tendon or cartilage healing Future studies are needed to determine:  Optimal exercise type  Ideal exercise intensity  Timing before blood draw  Which conditions benefit most Dr. Logan's Clinical Perspective At the Joint Preservation Center, this study has prompted discussions about incorporating pre-injection exercise into PRP protocols. A simple 20-minute cycling session before blood collection may represent a practical strategy to optimize a patient's own biology before treatment. While additional evidence is needed, this concept aligns with the broader goal of maximizing the effectiveness of biologic therapies through thoughtful patient preparation. Take-Home Points  Exercise before PRP collection significantly increases platelet concentrations.  Short bouts of exercise may mobilize progenitor cells.  Patient physiology may influence PRP composition.  Exercise represents a low-cost, non-pharmacologic optimization strategy.  More research is needed to determine whether these laboratory changes improve clinical outcomes. Resources Mentioned  Episode #161: Platelet concentration and outcomes following PRP for lateral epicondylitis  Recent Sports Docs episode with Dr. Arianna Gianakos discussing PRP for plantar fasciitis 🎤 Stay Connected 🎧 Listen & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Follow us on Instagram Our Hosts: Ashley Bassett, MD & Catherine Logan, MD, MBA / www.cosportsmedicine.com  www.cloganmd.com

    181: Overtime – Secondary Injury after ACL Reconstruction in Professional Soccer Players

    The FIFA World Cup and ACL injuries remain one of the most impactful injuries in professional soccer. While much of the discussion around ACL reconstruction focuses on graft choice, rehabilitation, and return-to-play timelines, a new study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine highlights an often-overlooked challenge: secondary muscle injuries after athletes return to competition. In this episode of Overtime with The Sports Docs, Drs. Ashley Bassett and Catherine Logan review the newly published article, "Secondary Muscle Injuries and Performance Decline After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Professional Soccer." The study examines the incidence, timing, and impact of muscle injuries following ACL reconstruction in elite soccer players and explores how these injuries affect performance, playing time, and even market value. The findings reinforce an important principle in sports medicine: return to play is not the finish line—it is only the next phase of recovery. Key Discussion Points Understanding ACL Injuries in Soccer Common mechanisms of ACL injury in soccerWhy cutting, pivoting, deceleration, and landing place soccer players at particularly high riskThe career implications of ACL injuries in professional athletesACL Reconstruction Graft Options Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BTB) autograftHamstring tendon autograftQuadriceps tendon autograftAdvantages and disadvantages of each graft choiceWhy allograft tissue is generally avoided in elite athletesModern Return-to-Play Decision Making Moving beyond time-based return-to-play criteriaStrength testing and limb symmetryHop testing and movement analysisNeuromuscular control assessmentPsychological readiness for sportOngoing graft maturation and biologic healingStudy Review: Secondary Muscle Injuries After ACL Reconstruction The authors evaluated professional male soccer players from Europe's top leagues who underwent ACL reconstruction between 2020 and 2023 and compared them with matched healthy controls. Key findings included: 32.5% of ACL-reconstructed players sustained a secondary muscle injury within one year of return to playOnly 12.5% of matched controls experienced muscle injuriesACL-reconstructed athletes were more than twice as likely to sustain a muscle injury after returnMost Common Secondary Injuries Hamstring strains (42%)Quadriceps strains (32%)Calf injuries (16%)Adductor injuries (11%)Notably, nearly 70% of injuries occurred on the reconstructed side, suggesting persistent deficits may contribute to injury risk. The Highest-Risk Window One of the most important findings: Nearly 58% of all secondary muscle injuries occurred between 3 and 6 months after return to competitionThis period may represent a critical vulnerability window when athletes are increasing match exposure, training volume, and competition demands. The Importance of the 9-Month Rule The strongest predictor of secondary muscle injury was early return to play: Athletes returning before 9 months after ACL reconstruction had nearly a fivefold increased risk of secondary muscle injuryThis study adds to the growing body of evidence supporting delayed, criteria-based return to sport rather than return based solely on time. Performance and Career Impact Players who sustained secondary muscle injuries experienced: Reduced playing timeFewer minutes on the fieldDecreased participation metricsDeclines in overall performanceThe study also demonstrated significant reductions in player market value among athletes who experienced secondary injuries, highlighting the financial and career implications of incomplete recovery. Strengths and Limitations of the Study Strengths Matched-control designFocus on elite professional soccer playersInclusion of performance metrics and market value outcomesReal-world relevance for sports medicine clinicians and team physiciansLimitations Retrospective study designRelatively small sample sizeNo objective rehabilitation data availableNo information on graft typeLack of strength testing, hop testing, or psychological readiness measuresNo workload or GPS tracking dataClinical Takeaways ACL recovery extends well beyond return to competition.Return to play should be viewed as a milestone, not the endpoint.The first 3–6 months after return may represent the highest-risk period for secondary injury.Continued strength training, neuromuscular training, and workload monitoring remain essential after athletes resume competition.Returning before 9 months after ACL reconstruction may substantially increase the risk of secondary muscle injury.Successful ACL recovery is not simply about returning to sport—it is about staying healthy and performing at a high level after return.Article Discussed "Secondary Muscle Injuries and Performance Decline After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Professional Soccer" Published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine (AJSM), 2026. 🎤 Stay Connected 🎧 Listen & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Follow us on Instagram Our Hosts: Ashley Bassett, MD & Catherine Logan, MD, MBA / www.cosportsmedicine.com  www.cloganmd.com Follow us on Instagram @thesportsdocspod for the latest updates in sports medicine, injury recovery, and athlete performance.

    180: Dr. Arianna Gianakos – Plantar Fasciitis in Athletes (Part II)

    🎧 Episode Summary In Part II of our discussion on plantar fasciitis, Dr. Ashley Bassett and Dr. Catherine Logan continue their conversation with Dr. Arianna Gianakos, orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon at Yale University. This episode focuses on treatment options for patients who fail initial conservative management, including injection therapies, biologics, and surgical intervention for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis. The discussion highlights the latest evidence supporting platelet-rich plasma (PRP), compares PRP to corticosteroid injections and other nonoperative treatments, and reviews emerging minimally invasive surgical techniques—including nano-arthroscopic plantar fascia release. Highlights Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Plantar Fasciitis Recent evidence continues to support the use of PRP for chronic plantar fasciitis. Key findings from a 2024 Level I systematic review and meta-analysis: PRP resulted in significantly greater pain reduction compared to:Corticosteroid injectionsExtracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)Placebo injectionsPRP demonstrated improved functional outcomes as measured by AOFAS scores.Benefits were most apparent in patients with chronic, recalcitrant symptoms.PRP vs Corticosteroid Injections Corticosteroid Injections Advantages: Rapid short-term pain reliefWidely availableLow costLimitations: Effects are often temporaryHigher recurrence ratesPotential risks include:Plantar fascia ruptureFat pad atrophyTissue degeneration with repeated injectionsPRP Advantages: Targets the underlying degenerative processEncourages tissue healing and remodelingMore durable symptom reliefImproved long-term outcomes compared with corticosteroidsChallenges: Higher costLack of standardization in preparation techniquesVariability in platelet concentration and leukocyte contentThe Role of Biologics A key theme throughout the discussion is that biologics should be viewed as tools to optimize healing rather than miracle cures. Important considerations include: Appropriate patient selectionChronicity of symptomsFailure of structured conservative treatmentRealistic expectations regarding recovery timelinesWhen Is Surgery Appropriate? Fortunately, most patients improve without surgery. Surgical intervention may be considered when: Symptoms persist for 6–12 months or longerConservative treatments have been exhaustedPain continues to significantly limit daily activities, exercise, or athletic participationBefore surgery, patients should typically complete: Stretching and strengthening programsOrthotic managementNight splintsPhysical therapyInjection-based treatments when appropriateNano-Arthroscopic Plantar Fascia Release The episode concludes with a discussion of a novel nano-arthroscopic plantar fascia release technique recently described in Arthroscopy Techniques. Potential advantages include: Single-portal minimally invasive approachReduced soft tissue disruptionLess postoperative painReduced neurovascular riskEarlier weightbearingFaster return to daily activities and sportSurgical Pearls When performing plantar fascia release: Partial release is preferred over complete release.Over-release can alter foot biomechanics and increase lateral column pain.Careful patient selection remains critical.Surgery should be reserved for truly recalcitrant cases.Key Takeaways PRP demonstrates superior pain relief and functional outcomes compared to corticosteroid injections and placebo in chronic plantar fasciitis.Corticosteroids may provide short-term symptom relief but do not address the underlying degenerative pathology.Most patients improve with nonoperative management and never require surgery.Surgical treatment should be reserved for patients who fail a comprehensive course of conservative care.Nano-arthroscopic plantar fascia release represents an exciting minimally invasive option that may reduce pain, soft tissue injury, and recovery time.Appropriate patient selection and realistic expectations remain essential regardless of treatment choice.Featured Guest Dr. Arianna Gianakos – Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Surgeon, Yale University; specialist in sports-related foot and ankle injuries, cartilage restoration, and advanced foot and ankle reconstruction. 🎤 Stay Connected 🎧 Listen & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Follow us on Instagram Our Hosts: Ashley Bassett, MD & Catherine Logan, MD, MBA / www.cosportsmedicine.com  Follow us on Instagram @thesportsdocspod for the latest updates in sports medicine, injury recovery, and athlete performance.
