The Sports Docs Podcast
Sports medicine is a constantly evolving field, with hundreds of new articles published each month on the topic. This ever-growing wealth of information can make it challenging to stay updated on the newest approaches and techniques, and to know which data should actually change your practice. Join orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Catherine Logan and Dr. Ashley Bassett, as they chat about the most recent developments in sports medicine and dissect through all the noise.
On each episode of The Sports Docs podcast, the hosts will tackle a specific injury – from ACL tears to shoulder instability – and review the top research from various high-impact journals that month, including The American Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, Sports Health, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and more. The Sports Docs will also be joined by experts in the field of sports medicine – orthopedic surgeons, nonoperative sports medicine specialists, athletes, physical therapists, athletic trainers and others – to provide a fresh and well-rounded perspective based on their unique experiences.
The Sports Docs – Dr. Logan & Dr. Bassett – are friends & former co-residents from the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, who went onto esteemed sports medicine fellowships at The Steadman Clinic and The Rothman Institute, respectively. Dr. Logan practices in Denver, CO, and serves as Team Physician for Men's USA Lacrosse & as a Team Physician for U.S. Ski & Snowboard. Dr. Bassett is the director of the Women’s Sports Medicine Center at the Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey and practices across northern NJ, primarily in Morris and Sussex Counties.
Together, they will bring monthly conversations on how to care for athletes of all ages and levels of play, with a healthy mix of cutting-edge science and real-world application.

What You’ll Learn
1. The Evolution of Nano Arthroscopy
- From the original Arthrex NanoScope (2019) to NanoNeedle 2.0
- Major leap in image resolution (400×400 → 720×720, near 4K)
- Less invasive approach and improved patient experience
2. Seeing What Imaging Can Miss
- How in-office diagnostic arthroscopy is reducing reliance on equivocal MRI findings
- Identifying subtle pathology:
- Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears
- Meniscal ramp lesions
- Early chondral defects
3. The Power of Panoramic Visualization (Panoscope)
- Expanded field of view compared to traditional arthroscopy
- Seamless transition between 30°, 70°, and ultra-wide 45° views
- Reduced “blind spots” in complex anatomy
4. Workflow & Efficiency in the OR
- How the Synergy Vision System integrates NanoNeedle + Panoscope
- Dual-view capability for enhanced intraoperative decision-making
- Improved efficiency
5. Adoption & Learning Curve
- Designed to be intuitive for surgeons
- Importance of training and mentorship
- Technology enhances decision-making without adding complexity
