CBS New York reports on coral from the sea is being used in knee surgeries at HSS. 

The innovative procedure uses Cartiheal Agili-C, a coral-based implant, to help patients with knee osteoarthritis who may not need a total knee replacement. 

HSS sports medicine surgeons Sabrina M. Strickland, MD, and Andreas H. Gomoll, MD, sit down with CBS reporter Jenna DeAngelis to explain how the coral-based implant stimulates cartilage growth and offers an alternative for active patients looking to avoid full joint replacement.

The segment also highlights two HSS patients, one who recently underwent the procedure and another who has successfully returned to an active lifestyle, sharing their personal experiences and recovery journeys
