“lifestyle changes are probably the culprit of knee issues that have become more severe with time” Why we haven’t evolved better knees – new research theconversation.com/why-we-havent-… via The Conversation

New publications from our research group FOF research unit on 1. Total Hip Arthroplasty Versus Education and Exercise: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38697319/ and 2. Nature-Based Group Exercises for People With Arthritis: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38360058/

Best way to prevent osteoarthritis is to prevent knee injuries from happening. Pleasure to work w Live S. Luteberget and the HAPPY team to reduce knee injuries!

Exercise first is the way to go. Exercise therapy is more effective than we think it can be. Unfortunately, surgery is not as good as we would like it to be. For example, at least 20% experience chronic knee pain after total knee replacement. Try exercise first.

At #BASEM2024 looking forward to presenting on non-surgical treatment of ACL injury. Morning surprise when pulling the curtain in my hotel room, difficult to be closer to the Coventry pitch!

🦵 Despite better baseline health status, early-stage KOA patients achieved similar sized important improvements following edu and exercise compared to established KOA! First large study (N = 10.365) to compare. doi.org/10.1016/j.joca… Jos Runhaar Dawn Aitken Ewa Roos University of Tasmania

🆕1 in 4 patients with knee osteoarthritis participating in exercise therapy had a previous knee joint surgery. 🆕Patients with previous knee surgery can expect clinical outcomes similar to patients without prior knee joint surgery. Article link: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In 2024, methodological advances were made that could help to guide users to choose more appropriate and robust MIC estimates to interpret OA study results, and help in presenting treatment alternatives to patients with OA: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Is surgery always necessary for young patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries or meniscal tears? 🦵 🔪 In a paper in Annals of Int Med we discuss the evidence suggesting a much larger role of non-surgical treatment🏃 Read here 👉: acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN…

I do not think it is either surgery or exercise. Exercise first is however a good option for most, also young adults with knee injury.

Just published! Work led by Dr Belinda Lawford shows that having an x-ray to diagnose knee arthritis might make you more likely to consider potentially unnecessary surgery journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…
