After three decades in clinical practice, including training under renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews, Pietropaoli has positioned his Skaneateles-based clinic, Victory In Motion, as a sanctuary for those seeking to avoid surgery. The book serves as a manifesto for his broader mission, Knee Replacement Free by '43, which aims to render joint replacement obsolete through regenerative medicine and early, targeted diagnostics.

Dr. Marc Pietropaoli Challenges the Standard of Knee Replacement
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Marc Pietropaoli is pushing back against the medical industry’s reliance on joint replacement, arguing that biological intervention is often overlooked. His new book, Repair NOT Replace, contends that surgical pressure is driven more by financial incentives and training habits than by unavoidable clinical necessity for patients.
Pietropaoli’s approach moves away from the standard surgical pipeline by utilizing tools like bone marrow aspirate cell procedures, platelet-rich plasma, and specialized laser therapies. His "Clarity Day" diagnostic process focuses on identifying the root causes of joint degeneration rather than immediately defaulting to hardware replacement. By introducing the "$1 vs $1 Million Challenge," the author invites patients to compare the cost of preventative arthritis research against the physical and financial tolls of major surgery. He maintains that while surgery remains a valid option, it should function as a last resort rather than the industry's primary response.
