Watch Episode 1 of Moving Mountains - The Jen Hudak Story

Jen's Story of Injury and Recovery
Jen Hudak is a world-class professional skier who suffered severe cartilage and ligament injuries to her knee after landing backwards into a halfpipe wall. Her MRI documented loss of articular cartilage and damage to the posterior lateral portion of the knee. Jen underwent an articular cartilage stem cell paste graft to a full-thickness lesion on her lateral femoral condyle and reconstruction of the posterolateral corner using an allograft. She started training the Summer after her injury, returned to competitive skiing in the Fall, and won both the Winter X-Games Superpipe Gold Medal and the Winter X-Games Europe the following Winter. By recognizing the posterolateral corner instability and rebuilding the corner with donor tissue, this procedure provided stability and protection to her joint.
