Derek Dee, MD is an Orthopedic Surgeon, trained in Sports Medicine and the founder of the S-Core® technology. He began to do research in 2012 with Thay Lee, PhD and a Professor in Medical Biomechanics, to better understand why patients would come to see him after having "gold standard" surgical intervention just a couple of years prior. The most common surgical interventions include microfracture and/or osteochondral allograft transfer (O.A.T.S). Dr. Dee's theory, supported by Dr. Lee, is that to much focus on the repair of cartilage and and not enough on the subchondral bone. Biomechanical studies have shown that if the stress forces in a weight bearing joint are not dissipated over the entire joint, these forces can lead to focal damage to the cartilage as well as to the the bone, especially where the forces are the highest. If the surgical intervention does not account for these forces, then the pain and damage will return and the progression of osteoarthritis will continue and ultimately lead to end stage osteochondral disease.
