278. Dr. Jason Snibbe: On Why Meniscus Surgery Backfires, Prehab, Peptides, & Robotic Joint Surgery

Most people are told a torn meniscus needs surgery to "clean it
out".  But in this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason
Snibbe tells me that roughly 30% of those patients end up needing a
full knee replacement within three to six months, because the
cleanout itself is trauma that speeds up the joint's breakdown.
Instead, he uses a simple platelet-rich plasma injection that gets
many patients 70 to 80% better from a single shot, sending them
back to tennis and golf without ever going under the knife. As he
put it to me, "I don't operate on your MRI, I operate on how you
feel." We also get into "prehab," why your knee pain often starts
in your hip, how robotic surgery spares the muscle older methods
destroy, and why his patients are walking within an hour of a joint
replacement.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S VIP!:
