Operative Approaches to Knee Replacement

In this very special episode of AAHKS Amplified, we have members from the AAHKS Patient and Public Relations Committee join us to discuss operative approaches to knee replacement. Our host David G. Deckey, MD curated a wonderful conversation with Cody C. Green, MD, Andrew Scott Murtha, MD and Charlie Yoo, MD around the various ways surgeons can get to the joint itself and depending on the approach taken, this may or may not dictate what the first few weeks of recovery looks like for the patient.

So, in this episode, listeners will learn to identify “surgical jargon” so that a more informed conversation can be had between surgeon and patient. They also talk in great detail about the medial parapatellar approach which happens to be the most common approach to knee replacement surgery. 

If you are someone you know is considering a knee replacement, this is a podcast you don’t want to miss. Be sure to subscribe and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!
