Live - Patellofemoral replacement surgery

[@fisiobrandoncardozo2967]

Wow Doc. As a Physical Therapist, I absolutely love this kind of videos, as it allows me to see the actual procedure and not only the scar when patients arrive to the rehabilitation center. This is more than valuable for me. THANKS! KEEP ON EDUCATING ALL OF US, HEALT AND NON HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.

This is remarkable, thank you for uploading this. My mother is due to undergo a full or partial knee replacement soon. This is really nice to see what actually happens. It seems scary but in reality it is not that bad tbh. I also have been following your channel, and I like how you consider surgery as a last resort. I think that is pretty epic because most Dr's in the UK almost automatically go to surgery as the only solution.

[@RaceTeq17]

Ridiculous generalization. A good surgeon, of which there are many in the UK, knows all the reasons not to cut.

Most enjoyable to watch. 3 year's ago ( in my mid 50's ) I had a total knee replacement. And in a year or so my other knee will be done. Bone on bone, painful. But I don't let it stop me from being active. We must keep moving...😅

[@MarDiego5446]

Thanks for sharing this doctor. I really appreciate it.

[@egorpanfilov]

Beautiful work and very clean explanation! 🙌

[@kellyakakells]

Awesome Job Doc.

I hope she's doing really well with her new knee! I have a pretty strong stomach for this kind of stuff and was totally amazed at the work and technology in such an advanced operation. The sad part is I have terrible knees also and one day might have the same operation, it's my knee caps and lack of cartilage that effect my daily life, I'm super active and all but limited when it comes to certain lower body movements. Ugh! I'll put it off as long as I can...

I sure wish you were in San Diego. Thank you!

YOU ARE THE BEST

Do you think PRP or stem cells can recreate cartilage?

[@carlosryee9128]

Are you able to see and asses medial plica during this process?

[@kalwongkl]

Is there an option for non-cemented option of the bone to implant. Whereby the bone will grow and adhere to the implant instead of using adhesive. Any pro / con on this option. How about the longevity and comparison between the 2 option. Healing time and return to full function time. Thank-you

[@Go4omir]

AFAIK yes - The Stone clinic does it

[@apreviousseagle836]

What happens to the bone that tries to heal with the cement components glued to it? Does the bone compensate somehow? Is there a chance it will come unglued?

[@RaceTeq17]

Cement is not an adhesive. Think of it as grout. Yes, components can loosen over time (10-20 years) and this is one of many reasons for potential revision surgery.

[@apreviousseagle836]

@@RaceTeq17 Ah, very interesting. I don't have knee surgery, but I had to get a tendon in my tricep reattached. My surgery, at least visually, would have been similar to this. Very interesting watch.
