We Welcome An Orthopedic Surgeon And Serra-San Mateo Football Star Hassan Mahasin To Discuss Knee Injuries And Dealing With A Torn ACL •

In our second episode, Know & GO host Chace Bryson welcomes a pair of guests for a discussion on knee injuries — specifically the torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament). 

As part of the pod’s partnership with Golden State Orthopedic & Spine, Chace talks with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Semon Bader — a nationally recognized authority on ACL reconstruction. Dr. Bader shares the basics of the dreaded knee injury. He covers how it happens, who is most susceptible to it, useful prevention strategies and the rehabilitation process.
