Video Summary
Dr. Bill Bugbee discusses joint preservation versus arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis, sharing 25 years of experience. He emphasizes individualized decision-making over surgical approach and notes joint preservation is often a lifelong journey, while arthroplasty is a final destination. Arthroplasty now offers improved implant longevity, high satisfaction, and fewer reoperations, even for under-50 patients, sometimes outperforming cartilage repair in function. However, joint preservation remains preferred for younger patients. He highlights complexities like multifocal disease with good X-rays but poor MRIs, noting arthroplasty outcomes vary. Advanced robotics and personalized alignment enhance arthroplasty success, especially in degenerative patellofemoral disease.
