Osteoarthritis Favorite Joint: The Knee

The Arthritis Foundation reports over 27 million Americans live with osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint such as the knee, hip, and spine. The joints that bear the most weight, like the knee, are more commonly affected than a joint such as the elbow.
Knee osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage in the knee joints erodes.

Fixing Fractures
Transcript
My name is Leo Calafi, I’m one of the orthopedic traumatologists here and I deal with a lot of fractures in patients – from pediatrics to elderly.

The procedure restores stability to the elbow by reconnecting the ligament from the humerus to the olecranon. This is the ligament that undergoes stress during repetitive throwing.
The Tommy John surgery has an 80 percent return-to-play rate. It’s not perfect. The procedure does not improve performance, but

Runner’s knee, also known as patellofemoral pain syndrome, is an injury caused by overuse of the knee joint.

Using Exercise for Weight Management
Transcript
What is the best strategy for weight management?
I think for most patients, it’s a routine lifestyle, diet, and exercise. It sounds easy when you say you have to burn more calories than you take in, but obviously, I know there’s a lot to that. For patients who are on the obese to morbidly obese side, weight loss programs – which may involve medications or surgery – might be the most effective. But I think for the average American, it’s really maximizing diet and exercise.
Where I can certainly help is with the exercise
