Did you know that when you think of the words MOON and MARS, they actually have a meaning outside of our celestial bodies in the sky? You probably never even equated those couple of words to sports medicine. If you have not, you should, especially if you see young athletes with ACL tears. My two guests today helped to create the MOON and MARS multicenter research groups. We’ll talk about how these groups got started, what they’ve found with their incredible number of prospectively followed patients with ACL tears, how they helped set up a multicenter research group that most would be thrilled to mimic. Let’s talk MOON and MARS!
