“Effect of Marijuana Use on Pain Management and Return to Sport After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients: A Matched Control Study” with Author Dr. Grant Hogue, MD

Nov 20, 2025

Does cannabis use have any effect, good or bad, on Orthopaedic Surgery? It’s a question we, as a Sports Medicine community, hear increasingly frequently from our patients but so far don’t have great data to provide sound advice. We welcome Dr. Grant Hogue who has studied this extensively across several disciplines of Orthopaedic Surgery. He presents his work with his colleagues at Boston Children’s Hospital looking specifically at adverse effects of marijuana use on ACL reconstruction recovery.
