Description

In this episode of BoardsCast, we focus on the high-stakes realm of articular surface reconstruction — where perfect joint congruity meets imperfect reality.

We explore:

• What defines “reconstructable” vs. “non-reconstructable” articular injury
• Osteochondral autografts, allografts, and synthetic options
• Corrective valgus and varus osteotomies (CVOs) and how they redistribute load
• How to use realignment to buy time or avoid joint replacement
• Salvage strategies: excision arthroplasty, arthrodesis, and the trade-offs involved
• Board-relevant distinctions between cartilage resurfacing and functional joint preservation

If you’ve ever been stuck between “repair it” and “replace it,” this episode breaks down what’s possible, what’s reasonable — and when salvage is the smartest fix.
