About this episode
Dr. Marc Pietropaoli is an orthopedic surgeon and founder of Victory In Motion, home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement®. A former fellow of Dr. James Andrews, he has spent more than 25 years advancing regenerative and non-operative orthopedic care. He was the first surgeon in the world to perform an FDA-indicated BEAR ACL repair outside of clinical trials. His mission is bold: make the world Knee Replacement Free by 2043. In this episode, Dr. Mark Pietropaoli shares how he went from traditional orthopedic surgery to pioneering regenerative approaches like stem cells, PRP, laser therapy, and his Victory Method to help people repair knees instead of getting knee replacements.
