I do not claim that my way is the best way or the only way. My personal approach to my patients, total knee replacement surgery and the ever important post-operative recovery has been developed over the years. My protocols are ever changing based on scientific evidence and personal experience.I know many of you will want to jump right ahead to the operative step episodes - and that is okay. The first few episodes are not as exciting but they do contain important information in my opinion. If you jump ahead just be sure to come back and listen to the first few episodes.I will attempt to offer you my brain and the algorithm within it. Here I will share my thoughts and my approach to caring for total knee replacement patients. I hope that you learn something from this podcast. I hope that my thought process stimulates your thinking and approach. Most importantly I hope that I can offer one or more tips or pearls that may benefit your patients. If you like the information and have a friend or colleague that you think would benefit from the material please be sure to share this podcast with them. (Disclaimer: This is my opinion. Any information gathered is not medical education. Practitioners need to use their education and experience to determine how to treat their own patients.)

  • Introduction to the Virtual Total Knee Fellowship
    Mar 22 2020

    My name is Adam Rosen. I am an orthopedic surgeon in Southern California. I did my residency in Philadelphia and fellowship in La Jolla. I have been in practice since 2005 performing total knee replacements. I am part of a teaching fellowship program and I try to share my thought process with our fellows. I am going to share my thought process here in an attempt to help you and potentially the patients that you care for.

    This podcast series is really geared towards orthopedic residents or fellows or the community surgeon looking to pick up a pearl or two about total knee replacements. I do not believe that my way is the best way or the only way to care for patients with knee arthritis. I only offer my thoughts, opinions and treatment algorithms in the hopes that it will help you care for your patients. This is my opinion. You need to determine how to treat your own patients based on your experience, education and available scientific data.

  • Choosing who to operate on
    Mar 24 2020

    Here I discuss some of the things I look for when seeing patients in the office when I am deciding on what treatment options are appropriate. Weight bearing x-rays are important. Ask patients to describe their symptoms. Do not simply ask someone to describe their pain on a scale of one to ten. Find out how their knee has affected their quality of life. Lastly, find out what treatment options have been tried and be sure to offer conservative treatment options to the patient before undergoing surgery.

  • Informed consent and defining realistic expectations
    Mar 26 2020

    Here I go into how I describe to a patient what a total knee replacement is by using a total knee model. I make it a habit to not only detail all of the potential risks of the surgery but I go into detail when certain risks are higher in an individual patient (such as infection risk in a diabetic). Explaining realistic expectations up front is extremely important in my opinion to create good patient satisfaction after total knee replacement surgery. I review with my patients normal expectations such as warmth, night pain, lateral numbness and clicking that can be seen in the early post-operative period.
