Episode 65: Knee Edition — Vol. 1, Issue 10 (2026-03-10)

Today's knee edition explores four critical aspects of contemporary knee surgery. We examine prolonged adductor canal catheter use for post-TKA pain management, compare PROMIS outcome measures to legacy tools, validate radiographic measurement techniques in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and investigate biomechanics of inter-implant gaps in revision scenarios.
