What’s the common thread behind nearly every knee treatment?

Every Knee Treatment Comes Down to One Thing: Load🏋️

"Every treatment we provide our patients is a load-sharing treatment when you think about it, whether it's a behavioral change or it's a structural change based upon the innovation that we decide to use."

In David Shepard's interview with Cole, MD, MBA, they discuss different methods and treatments for reducing load and treating knee pain, in addition to previewing the upcoming ICRS Focus Meeting in Chicago, September 24-25.
