Dr. Kevin Stone has become a real friend of the show, now making his third appearance on the podcast. He is one of the world’s leading orthopedic surgeons and the founder of the Stone Clinic in San Francisco. He’s a pioneer in biological knee restoration, a surgeon trusted by Olympic athletes and everyday skiers alike. He’s a voice who’s been pushing sports medicine for decades. Every time Dr. Stone comes on, we walk away smarter and usually a little more hopeful about the future of knees. Today, we’re diving into the newest advances in joint repair, what he’s seeing on the cutting edge, and all of us mountain athletes should know if we want our bodies to last.
