91: Dr. Tom DeBerardino 0n Advances in Patellofemoral Cartilage Restoration (LIVE at AOSSM 2024)

Today’s episode is going to focus on patellofemoral cartilage restoration and discuss osteochondral allograft transplantation for both patellar and trochlear lesions, as well as off-the-shelf options including Arthrex Cartiform. We will also chat about the addition of osteotomies to offload that cartilage restoration and optimize outcomes.

We are joined today by Dr. Tom DeBerardino, a professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Texas health San Antonio, team physician for UT San Antonio athletics and a retired US Army veteran.

So, without further ado, let’s get to the Field House!
