Dr. Andreas Gomoll: A Deep Dive into Joint Preservation and Articular Cartilage Injuries

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by Dr. Andreas Gomoll from Hospital for Special Surgery to discuss joint preservation and the management of articular cartilage injuries/defects, including therapeutic management considerations, surgical options, underlying mechanism, the role and usage of injections, and more.

Dr. Andreas Gomoll is double board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. His practice is devoted to preserving or restoring quality of life for patients with injuries to the knee and shoulder. He is widely recognized as one of the leading surgeons specializing in joint preservation with extensive experience in ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair, both performing primary procedures, as well as revision surgery for failed prior procedures. He also specializes in rotator cuff and biceps injuries.

His interest is in the reconstruction of injuries such as ACL tears, meniscus and cartilage defects with focus on the repair of damaged structures that would otherwise lead to accelerated deterioration of the knee joint, or to treat damage that has already developed as a result of damaged structures that were not or only inadequately treated.

Dr. Gomoll is a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the International Cartilage Repair Society. He holds leadership positions in these and other US and international professional societies, as well as being on the editorial boards of several orthopedic journals. He has been awarded several Best Doctors designations, is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, recipient of the Who is Who Humanitarian award, and was recognized as one of 16 stand-out sports knee surgeons in North America.

He was a member of the Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School Cartilage Repair Center, and Director of the Orthopaedic Program in the BWH Center for Regenerative Medicine prior to moving his practice to Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

He leads and participates in multiple surgical and non-surgical research trials of innovative new treatments for ligament, meniscus and cartilage damage, and has published over 100 articles and several books in this field.
