In collaboration with the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society, the ICRS TV Series 2026 focuses on bringing regenerative science into the clinical decisions that define long-term joint function.

Guided by the principle “Regenerative Science Meets Lifelong Function”, this season moves beyond individual techniques and addresses a central question for daily practice: how can regenerative strategies be applied to achieve consistent, durable outcomes? Throughout the series, leading experts connect advances in cartilage regeneration, biologics, and joint preservation with the realities of indication setting, surgical planning, and post-operative care.

Each episode delivers concise, evidence-based insights with a clear emphasis on case-based discussion, critical reflection, and practical takeaways that can be directly applied in clinical practice.

The second episode, “Subchondral Bone: The Healthy Soil for Healthy Cartilage,” shifts the focus beneath the cartilage surface to examine the critical role of subchondral bone in joint health, pain generation, and regenerative success. The faculty will explore how subchondral bone biology, bone marrow lesions, osteochondral crosstalk, and bone stiffness influence cartilage integrity and clinical outcomes. With dedicated attention to remodeling after marrow stimulation and MRI-based monitoring of post-surgical bone and cartilage regeneration, this episode provides a clinically relevant framework for understanding the joint as an interconnected osteochondral unit and for improving decision-making in cartilage repair and joint preservation.
