Before a body gets stronger, it has to break down first. Surgery is a kind of ashes. So is the exhaustion after a long training block, or the version of yourself you leave behind after an injury forces you to rebuild.

Recovery, optimizing health, and longevity isn’t about avoiding the fire. It’s about what you choose to become on the other side of it.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, starting over after a setback, or just chasing the next finish line, the rebuild is the point.

This is another example of an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using the "SCOI Row" technique. The principles of this technique include multiple points of fixation with triple-loaded anchors (9 broad SutureTape sutures used in this repair) placed at the medial aspect of the footprint (minimizing tension on the repair) and augmented with bone marrow vents, allowing for the patient's own stem cells and growth factors to help facilitate healing.

This is a surgical video of Dr. Nels Sampatacos from Pro Sport in Gig Harbor, WA performing another osteochondral allograft transplantation (cartilage transplant) in a knee. The patient is an active 19 year-old male who had failed two prior ostechondral allograft surgeries by another surgeon. Due to the progression in the size of the chondral defect, the Arthrex BioUni System was used and the graft was augmented with stem cells (BMAC), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to enhance healing.
