That can be a hard conversation. Hopefully your surgeon is taking the time to explain options to you and help make a decision.

I was summoned…

I’m curious why you feel the “need” to schedule a surgery?

Rare to have a good candidate for TKR AND arthroscopy. Moderate OA doesn’t do well with a scope.

Sometimes pts are in the middle zone (too bad for scope, not enough for TKR) and surgery isn’t likely to meet goals. 1/2

I guess I’ll have to go down to 4 teaspoons of toothpaste just to be safe.

How much toothpaste can I swallow before surgery?

Age and activity level. A frail elderly person, nursing home patient, etc. is very unlikely to get surgery in my practice. Good evidence there is no meaningful benefit in that population regardless of displacement.

This is the kind of outside the box thinking PRP needs right now.
