Dr. Sachin Allahabadi Featured on BackTable Podcast to Discuss Knee Cartilage Restoration

Posted on: September 21st, 2026 by Our Team

Dr. Sachin Allahabadi joined Dr. Larry Balle on the BackTable Bone & Sports podcast for an episode on treating knee cartilage injuries.

Their conversation explores why knee cartilage has limited ability to heal and how surgeons evaluate different treatment options. Dr. Allahabadi discusses osteochondral allografts, which use donor cartilage and bone to repair certain areas of damage. He also explains why factors such as the size of the injury, knee alignment, and the condition of the meniscus and ligaments matter when choosing an approach.

The episode offers a closer look at the decisions behind cartilage restoration, from selecting a procedure to setting realistic expectations for recovery. Listen to “Exploring Osteochondral Allografts for Knee Injuries” on BackTable.
