Long Term Knee Health: Staying Nimble and Mobile with Orthopedist Dr. Alan Reznik

This week, we are joined by Alan Reznik, MD.MBA FAAOS, an
extremely accomplished orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports
medicine who literally wrote the book on knee and shoulder
health. Pulling from his work: The Knee and Shoulder Handbook,
Dr. Reznik shares his expertise surrounding joint surgery,
treatment protocols, long-term care, and more with us– breaking
complex concepts down to make them accessible for all of us. For
David, this was a great opportunity to get more insight into a
surgeon’s thought process and key tips to help speed up his
recovery

Key Moments


“The knee is very smart. It does two things when it's mad, it
makes fluid, or it hurts, or both. In fact, all of your joints
are always making a little bit of fluid. When there’s a lot of
fluid in the knee, something's typically wrong. That's a tip, if
my knees are very swollen, something is off.”



“I could take a plug, a round plug of cartilage from someplace
else in your knee that you need less and move it to a place where
you need it more, just like a hair transplant."



“Once you put a metal plate and a plastic liner on the bone, it
will wear at a certain rate. Now the newer materials are very,
very good and they wear very slowly. The older materials wore
much faster. If you don't have a super active lifestyle, you're
not a marathon runner and you put it in, it could be good for 20
or 25 years.”
