Most people are told the same thing when their knees, ankles, or hips start failing: wait until you need a replacement.
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Stone says that advice is outdated.
In this episode of Ageless Athlete, Dr. Stone explains how modern orthopedic science is shifting from removal and replacement to repair, regeneration, and biologic reconstruction. From meniscus replacement and cartilage regrowth to partial joint resurfacing and precision rehab, this conversation explores what’s now possible for athletes who want to keep moving—without giving up the joints they were born with.
If you’ve been told to stop running, wait for surgery, or accept decline as inevitable, this episode offers a clear, science-backed second path—one focused on longevity, movement, and playing forever.
