What do Formula 1 racing and meniscus repair have in common? More than you'd think. This week, Dr. Grant Garcia and Will Sanchez welcome Dr. Nicholas Colyvas, a UCSF sports medicine surgeon who's revolutionizing how we approach knee surgery while living out his passion for vintage F1 racing.
Dr. Colyvas takes us from his childhood in South Africa to the operating rooms of UCSF, where he's pioneering meniscus preservation techniques that are keeping athletes in the game longer. He breaks down complex procedures like fibrin clot augmentation and meniscus transplants in ways that make sense whether you're a patient, athlete, or fellow surgeon.
But here's where it gets really interesting: Dr. Colyvas doesn't just talk about precision in surgery. He lives it on the racetrack, piloting vintage Formula 1 cars at Monaco and competing in modern endurance racing. The parallels between racing and surgery? They're all about preparation, precision, and knowing when to push the limits.
This episode is packed with surgical innovation, patient care philosophy, and some seriously cool racing stories. Whether you're dealing with a knee injury, interested in sports medicine, or just love a good F1 story, you won't want to miss this one.
