New Research Says This Common Knee Surgery May Not Help | Episode 265

A new 10-year study out of the University of Helsinki found that one of the most common knee surgeries in the world — partial meniscectomy (meniscus clean-up surgery) — may provide NO real benefit over placebo surgery and may actually make outcomes worse over time. Researchers found: • More symptoms • Worse function • Faster arthritis progression • Increased likelihood of future surgery So why is this still happening? In this podcast, we break down: • Why knee pain is often treated incorrectly • Why MRI findings can be misleading after 40 • How the back, hip, and ankle can create knee pain • Why pain location does NOT always equal pain source • What a thorough step-by-step evaluation should actually look like before considering surgery At mPower Physical Therapy, we believe the body is connected — and where the pain is felt is not always where the problem starts.
