About

Jason L. Dragoo, M.D.Board Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon

Sports Medicine Specialist

Jason L. Dragoo, MD, Professor and Vice Chair of Academic Affairs for the CU Department of Orthopedics, is an internationally known pioneer in the field of Biologics and Regenerative Medicine, as well as minimally invasive Sports Medicine procedures. He is the Endowed Chair of Regenerative Medicine and has developed many procedures designed to augment the healing of a patient’s own body. He strongly favors the use of autologous procedures (the use of the patient’s own tissue or cells for the procedure) versus allograft procedures (using tissue and cells from another human). Dr. Dragoo believes that joint restoration techniques, which add tissue back to a damaged joint, should be used whenever possible (e.g., cartilage and meniscal transplantation), rather than procedures that are designed to take tissue away (meniscal resection).
