When your doctor tells you that your meniscus is torn, your first thought is likely, “what do I need to do to fix it?”. Bring your questions today as we cover the most recent research and what you can do to address knee pain before deciding on surgery.
Frequently, your Physical Therapist or Family Doctor will send you to a surgeon and hope that the damaged meniscus can be fixed surgically.
Then, everything will be OK. After all, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in North America!
But should it be?
A meniscus tear may not be fixable for several reasons. The type of tear, factors such as the presence of arthritis, and your knee's overall condition will determine what steps to take.
Sometimes surgery is the way to go for a meniscus tear. But there are also times when you should only consider surgery as a last resort.
Join us this week to hear Dr. B’s take on this topic and discuss up-to-date literature on the role of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy to treat meniscal tears of the knee.
Learn how Dr. B and Coach E are tackling the issue of knee pain and meniscus tears in a new program called The Knee Recovery Program. They designed this course to help anyone with an acutely painfully swollen knee from any wear and tear caused.
The program aims at decreasing pain and swelling. We also focus on preventing the recurrence or progression of your wear and tear pathology. And, if you needed surgery, it is a great way to get your body back into action.
You may be wondering why one program can deal with all sorts of wear and tear issues, ranging from meniscus tears, arthritis, chondromalacia patella, and acute ACL tears? Well, that is a great question!
The answer relates to our philosophy of getting to the root cause of the knee problem. Why did your knee break down in the first place?
The Knee Recovery Program addresses the general movement disorders that cause mechanical overload and then a breakdown of various tissues in the knee.

We’re covering a lot of information in this session. We will also introduce how we propose to study the Knee Recovery Program using the KOOS questionnaire. I cannot wait!
I hope you will join us with your questions and comments!
