Episode notes

If they have totally worn out their knee down to bone on bone, or in multiple spots, then we do a total ne replacement. But even that's completely changed from what your parents total nea replacement was. So now when we do that, it's an out patient procedure. We don't need to use cement any more. The body can grow into the implant, and the implant can become part of the patient. And therefore we let our patients go back to running and climbing and skiing and doing all sports that they were told not to do after they had a parcel or total nea Replacement.

How do your knees feel? How do YOU feel about your knees? Buckle up to better your relationship with what some listeners call their most hated and contentious joint. Globally-lauded orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Stone agreed to sit on a porch and explain everything from cracking to popping, patellas to tendons vs ligaments, cartilage donuts, physical therapy, self-surgery, joint juices, sporty injections, cadaver tissues, pig legs, if weight has any effect on knee health, types of arthritis, bionic body parts, and if knees are really out to get us. Also if you’re still reading this description, this episode has some long-ass bizarre asides with some trivia that will haunt you. Meet… your knees.
