#281 Knee Replacement Alternatives: Why 82% of ”Bone on Bone” Knees Avoided Surgery for 15 Years | Marc Pietropaoli @Victory in Motion

What if the knee your doctor wants to replace could be repaired instead?

In a 15-year study, 82% of arthritic knees treated with the patient's own bone marrow never needed a knee replacement. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Marc Pietropaoli stopped doing knee replacements in 2020, and he explains why most knee arthritis pain comes from the bone under the cartilage and what actually repairs it.
