@drjonathanglashow: Nikos’s Journey Back to Soccer When multiple ACL surgeries and ongoing injuries create a perfect storm of cartilage damage and joint narrowing, sometimes you need to think beyond traditional approaches. Nikos came to us with lateral compartment damage - not just torn cartilage, but loss of joint space from previous surgeries and injuries. This required a two-part solution: an osteochondral allograft to fill the cartilage “pothole” and a corrective osteotomy to realign the bone and take pressure off the repair. The result? Nikos went from severe pain to walking without crutches, swimming, and moving better each day. Much of his success so far has also been due to his determination and consistently during the rehab process. Great work so far, Nikos! Every knee tells a story - this one had multiple chapters, but we’re working on writing a better ending. #sportsinjury #kneesurgery
