Episode Synopsis "June 2016: arthroscopic meniscectomy. To operate or not to operate?"

Welcome to the podcast summary of JISAKOS Volume 1, Issue 3. See full issue here: http://jisakos.bmj.com/content/1/3?current-issue=y. Social Media Editor, Peter D. Fabricant, MD, MPH, provides a quick summary of issue highlights, including the Editorial by Professor Niek van Dijk, which focuses on arthroscopic meniscectomy and how it remains one of the most common orthopaedic surgery procedures despite the known risk of osteoarthritis in the long-term. See Editorial here: http://jisakos.bmj.com/content/1/3/123. The podcast also summarises this issue’s systematic reviews on treatment of asymptomatic meniscal tears in the setting of ACL reconstruction and another on the association between Hill-Sachs lesions and glenohumeral instability recurrence. There are two state of the art reviews including one on the diagnosis and treatment of anterior knee pain led by Dr. John Fulkerson and another on extra-articular procedures for the ACL-deficient knee, led by Professor Philippe Neyret.
