Episode notes

We only use tissues from people under forty years of age and healthy. We have to stimulate the blood supply to grow into it, which is part of those growth factors in sid acconts. And how a how old usually is that tissue? Is it usually a recent donation, or are you able to flash it and keep it until it's appropriate for a certain patient? Yes, the tissues are fresh, frozen.

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.
