Perth Knee Replacement

Case from today - 77 years old, runs 30 minutes per day on treadmill, does 14000 steps per day, minimal pain

Advised to get a knee replacement as he was ‘bone on bone’

Treat the patient not the X-ray, highly likely this chap is going to keep smashing his exercise out for many years to come….Also highlights the fact that arthritic knees LIKE exercise , less pain and better function

Thanks to the patient for consenting to share this story,
