What a great mornings work at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital. Great team effort doing the first AutoCart single stage cartilage regeneration surgery at this hospital. Special thank you to Akash Patel for his expert assistance and Kaylea Jamieson from Arthrex for their invaluable support. Patient was happy for me to share the intraoperative pictures demonstrating significant full thickness cartilage loss which could progress in this 29 year old hockey player. We removed his pincer and cam lesions and repaired his labrum to give him the best possible chance to return to his sporting activities.
