A Stunning Stat On Knee Replacements

May 26, 2022

In this week’s episode of Your Health Matters, I talked about the stunning statistics around knee replacement.  I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw a study about 18.6 percent of people who had knee surgery being dissatisfied with the outcome. That percentage is quite high since knee surgery is an elective surgery so I wanted to talk about this to help you understand how to get better results after undergoing a knee surgery or any surgery for that matter. 
 
In this episode we discuss: 
 
[0:20] Introduction 
[2:24] The Most Significant Predictor Of Dissatisfaction  
[3:03] What Is A Knee Replacement 
[4:56] In My Experience – When Is There Success In Satisfaction, Mobility, And Strength 
[10:01] Nerve Block – What Is It, Is It Helpful 
[10:50] Importance Of Understanding What To Expect After Surgery  
[11:29] Getting Physical Therapy Before Surgery 
[12:20] Conclusion
