Pig Powered Ski Restoration

Ski Like a Pig: "KEVIN STONE SEEMS LIKE YOUR TYPICAL ORTHOPEDIC surgeon: He’s type-A . He bikes 15 miles to the office each morning, windsurfs in San Francisco Bay most evenings after work, and skis at least 30 days a year. But when it comes to treating skiing’s elite athletes, the 49-year-old former U.S. Ski Team sawbones really goes nuts: He whacks damaged cartilage with big plastic mallets. He strings pig ligaments in place of shredded ACLs. “When I start a project, I know I’ll spend a decade of my life working on it—most times maniacally,” he says."

It may not sound Kosher...

... but it works. This non-traditional repair has merit among professionals. This is a good read about a former US Ski Team physician.

FYI...
