Great article. These are the guys saying we aren’t scientific?
We have to educate and stick with the continuum of care- start with conservative care (I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned in the article).
The research studies are done on large populations with lots of dysfunction. If a patient gets good ID treatment and still has dysfunction/symptoms- then they are a good candidate for menisci or back surgery.
As ID providers sometimes we make surgery unnecessary and sometimes we make surgery more successful be getting rid of the other dysfunctions.
