Becker’s Healthcare -- Spine and Orthopedic Podcast · The Future of Sports Medicine and Orthopedics With Dr. Frank A. Cordasco · 3 Feb 2026 podcast

And that has been a game changer for younger mobile patients and long-distance athletes.

Absolutely, without question.

And it also enables you to see patients seven days a week.

If you're away at a conference during the middle of the week, you can then extend hours for these types of post-op visits into the weekends.

Not that we can get into...

you know, work life and healthy wellness aspects later on in the discussion, if you'd like.

But I think this provides the surgeon and the patient with a lot of flexibility in terms of when to meet.

And again, these are most helpful, I think, post-operatively and during the rehabilitation and return to sport phases where it's so intensive in sports.

You know, my arthroplasty colleagues

don't often require the need to see patients as frequently as we do in soft tissue surgery for the obvious reasons.

So I think it's been, as I said initially, a game changer.

As it relates to wearables and sensors, this is an exciting area in healthcare overall, as I mentioned earlier.

So whether you're managing a cardiac patient postoperatively, or more specifically in my field, athletes, we're now using

Again, we're just touching on this at this point from a practicality standpoint, but I think the future is going to be very exciting as it relates to the so-called IMU-based systems.

These are inertial measurement units, which include accelerometers, gyroscopes, and often magnetometers.

To create these systems, they can track range of motion, step counts, limb loading, return to play metrics after the types of surgeries I've discussed.

So ACL reconstructions, meniscus surgeries, shoulder procedures, et cetera.

And some of these platforms combine sensor data with AI to flag patients who, for example, may be lagging in rehab or importantly overloading too early.

prompting, you know, earlier intervention from the surgeon and their therapists and or athletic trainer colleagues.

Well, I think the wearable piece will continue to work very effectively in the coming 12 months.
