The questions people actually arrive with.
Each of these is answered the way it would be answered in the room: the answer first, then the reasoning.
02
01
Do I actually need ACL surgery?
No. A torn ACL does not automatically mean an operation.
02
My knee gives way when I run
“Giving way” can mean several different things.
03
My shoulder keeps slipping out
If it first happened when you were young, recurrence is more likely—but surgery is not automatic.
04
A meniscus tear at fifty
Usually, the first question is not “How do we operate on it?”
05
When I would not operate on a knee
Quite regularly.
06
How long before I can drive?
The calendar gives us a guide. Your ability to perform an emergency stop matters more.
07
Osteotomy or knee replacement?
Sometimes the answer is osteotomy. Sometimes it is replacement.
08
What your MRI report actually says
Usually, less than you think.
