Had an amazing time at #IOFMAX this weekend! Honored to present alongside such talented colleagues. One of the highlights was the expert panel on knee OA, featuring @ZachBailowitzMD, and his expertise on high-dose PRP— or as Dr. Bansal says, “adequate” dose PRP. Great discussion!

Looking forward to IOF this week! I’ll be diving into the basic science of platelet concentration and dose, and their impact on clinical outcomes. Hope to see you there!

Just published in AJSM. Similar findings to those already published by @WBerriganMD and @ZachBailowitzMD. Platelet concentration/dose influences outcomes! As you read the literature make sure you take note of platelet dose in the pos/neg PRP trials. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Our latest in @JAT_NATA highlights how social determinants of health impact access to athletic trainers in CA. Need to increase access and advocate for licensure in CA. @FRANCESTAO @WBerriganMD @charisturnermed @Stephklie2 @UCSFOrthosurg @UCSFSportsMed tinyurl.com/27ehxxzj
