Dr Alexis Colvin and Dr. James Gladstone discuss their recent research on Knee Arthroscopy
In an interview with Medical Research Alexis Colvin, MD, an associate professor of orthopaedic surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and James Gladstone, MD, co-chief of the sports medicine service at The Mount Sinai Hospital, discuss their recent research on knee arthroscopy. “Knee arthroscopy is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the U.S. There is minimal literature on when patients can expect to return to daily activity. We sought to help patients understand when they could expect to return to a number of basic activities, specifically in an urban environment where patients need to be mobile early,” the researchers said.
Dr James Gladstone writes about the first autologous cellularized scaffold approved by FDA

Dr. James Gladstone talks severity of Lindsey Vonn’s injury
Dr. James Gladstone, orthopedic surgeon and the co-chief of sports medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, would also not give a definitive prognosis for Vonn’s recovery, but he said in the best case, Vonn would be back on skis in two to four weeks.
“That would be the mildest sprain,” said Gladstone, a former college ski racer. “In that time period, she could be skiing again, but she may not be ready to race in the World Cup.”
The worst case would be a more serious tear that could require another reconstructive operation.
“But I suspect if it was a high-grade partial tear, there wouldn’t be any optimism in the statement at all,” Gladstone said.
