Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bert Mandelbaum, MD

Q: What were the most striking memories from your World Cup and Olympic experiences?

Memorable moments include the 1998 Iran exchange that highlighted humanity across nations, and the 2004 Athens Olympics where Iraqi teams faced challenges yet showed resilience; these experiences reinforced the idea that sport intersects life and humanity in profound ways.

Bert Mandelbaum, MD

Q: How did the PEP program evolve into the FIFA 11 Plus program, and what were the key components that reduced ACL injuries?

The program started from recognizing the different biomechanics in young female athletes, emphasizing knee alignment, hip strength, and overall conditioning. Through collaboration across universities and governing bodies, we iterated the protocol into a broader, scalable prevention model (11 Plus) and demonstrated substantial reductions in ACL injuries in women and then in men as well, supported by large multi-center studies.

Stephen F. Brockmeier, MD

Q: What are the biggest challenges you see today in addressing rotator cuff disease and tendon healing?

He highlights rotator cuff pathology as a major ongoing challenge, emphasizing the need for improved surgical techniques, biologics, and tissue augmentation to enhance healing in older patients.

Stephen F. Brockmeier, MD

Q: Could you explain the key considerations and current thinking around the Latergé procedure for shoulder instability?

He explains that the Latergé procedure is still widely used for patients with significant glenoid bone loss or off-track instability, and discusses the balance between bone loss thresholds and functional outcomes in athletes.

Stephen F. Brockmeier, MD

Q: Steve, what motivates you to move from private practice to an academic setting at UVA, and how did that path unfold?

He describes his enduring interest in teaching, training residents and fellows, and pursuing research, which drew him back to his alma mater to support athletic teams and grow the shoulder fellowship.
