A Stunning Stat On Knee Replacements

In this week’s episode of Your Health Matters, I talked about the stunning statistics around knee replacement.  I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw a study about 18.6 percent of people who had knee surgery being dissatisfied with the outcome. That percentage is quite high since knee surgery is an elective surgery so I wanted to talk about this to help you understand how to get better results after undergoing a knee surgery or any surgery for that matter. 

In this episode we discuss:
