    Patients Place: Knee Osteoarthritis

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of "Patients Place," a new segment designed specifically for patients seeking to understand knee problems. This episode delves into the complexities of osteoarthritis, one of the most common diagnoses among patients experiencing knee pain. The conversation begins with a detailed explanation of the signs and symptoms that lead patients to seek medical advice. Dr. Benner categorizes patients into two groups: those at "time zero," who are newly experiencing knee pain, and those seeking second opinions after previous diagnoses. The episode covers the potential causes of osteoarthritis, including normal aging, post-traumatic cases, and genetic factors. Dr. Benner explains the importance of x-rays and physical examinations in diagnosing the severity and location of arthritis, which can significantly influence treatment options. Listeners will gain valuable knowledge about non-surgical treatment options, such as medication, physical therapy, and the role of injections. Dr. Benner emphasizes the importance of patient involvement in the decision-making process, highlighting that surgery is not the only path to relief. Whether you're a patient at the Shelbourne Knee Center or anywhere else, this episode aims to provide practical advice and reassurance about managing osteoarthritis effectively. Join us on this journey to better understand knee health and explore various treatment avenues.

    Multiligament Knee Injuries

    On this episode, we discuss the topic of ACL reconstruction with multiligament involvement and how the outcomes compare to those with isolated ACL tears. The episode begins with an overview of the mechanisms, ligaments involved, and treatment options for multiligament knee injuries. Dr. Benner highlights the unique approach at the Shelbourne Knee Center, emphasizing the importance of avoiding complications, particularly stiffness, over achieving perfect stability. Scot details the study's methodology and results, which included data from over 5,000 patients. The discussion covers the treatment goals of converting multiligament injuries to resemble isolated ACL tears and the outcomes measured, such as range of motion, postoperative laxity, scar resection rate, graft tear rate, and IKDC scores. The results reveal no significant differences in key outcomes between patients with isolated ACL tears and those with additional medial or lateral ligament involvement.  Additionally, the episode touches on the importance of maintaining range of motion, avoiding stiffness, and the potential benefits of non-surgical treatment for certain ligament injuries. The discussion concludes with a call to the orthopedic community to consider these findings and the positive outcomes achieved through these methods. Don't miss the exciting announcement about the upcoming launch of "Patients Place," a new segment geared towards patients, offering accessible and informative content on various knee injury topics.
