Episode notes

jerret's knee wore out and i had to have a partial knee replacement, which is what we do for people when they're down to bone on bone. It's kind of like having a tooth capped with crowns. So in a partial they'll go in and say, ok, this part of the famoral condolite, the fimernards, needs a new surface. And then on the new surface, they smack some metal or plastic over the worn down area but they keep the healthy stuff as it is.

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.
