Dr. Kennedy’s team publishes extensively on orthobiologic therapies including platelet rich plasma, fat cell treatments, and stem cell therapies. His team is best-in-class, from basic science to clinical outcomes.Dr. Kennedy was one of the first surgeons to perform in-office Nano-arthroscopy. This surgical procedure uses the smallest, state-of the-art mini-arthroscope at the tip of a needle as well as tiny surgical instruments to diagnose and treat foot, ankle, and knee injuries in the office setting. Local anesthetic permits the patient to observe their procedure in real-time without pain, allowing understanding of their injury. The tiny incisions facilitate rapid recovery and return to daily and sporting activities with minimal downtime. In West Palm Beach, Dr. Kennedy performs in-office Nano-arthroscopy procedures at the world’s first dedicated Nano-arthroscopy suite.As one of the founding members of the International Society on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle (ISCRA), Dr. Kennedy has helped pioneer innovative technologies to prevent cartilage degradation. The ISCRA is comprised of leading experts in cartilage regeneration from over 40 countries and has established universal treatment strategies for ankle cartilage injuries. Dr. Kennedy’s breadth of experience, extensive research background, and relentless dedication allows him to provide the highest level of care for his patients.
