Welcome back to The Rehab Room with me, Thabo Mokoena. Today I have a guest I have wanted on since I started planning this show. Dr Lerato Dlamini is an orthopaedic surgeon here in Johannesburg, she operates on knees every week, and she is the first person to tell her patients that surgery is often not the answer. We are going to go through the three knee problems I see most, torn meniscus, ruptured ACL and early arthritis, and for each one Lerato will tell you straight when she would operate and when she would send you to me instead. If you have a knee that clicks, swells or gives way, and someone has mentioned the word surgery, this is the episode to hear first. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
