The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our hosts Kim K. Tucker, MD, and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guest Ronald E. Delanois, MD to review and discuss his in-depth study on pre-operative management in knee arthritis. Dr. Delanois immediately discovered following the completion of his study was that expectations of PRP should be tempered compared to corticosteroids.
Our guest also discussed the perception PRP has with most patients – thoughts that it’s “more special or elite” which has gotten ahead of evidence that suggests otherwise. In Dr. Delanois’ opinion, proper studies have not been conducted on PRP to dispel patients’ belief that PRP regenerate or even preserves current knee cartilage. In this recording, Dr. Delanois goes into great details about his study and how he eliminated bias to generate the most accurate outcomes.
Join us for this insightful recording that you’re sure to find useful in your everyday practice. Enjoy and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut!
