This is Karen Hunter and and I am having a procedure that I didn't talk to you guys about because quite frankly I didn't talk to you guys about because quite frankly I didn't want

that energy to be out into the universe but I thought it was important if you

remember several months ago we interviewed a Dr Singh who after the show talked about his knee surgery and he recommended

a doctor that he said was the best in the business.

So I did my homework and my research and from everything that I've read this man is the best

orthopedic surgeon in the world I'm doing that I'm doing that you're gonna have to accept

it let me welcome to the show Dr. Gil Scudary. Welcome. Thanks Karen. Good

to see you too. Orthopedics and knee replacements in particular because that's what I'm doing.

I'm doing a bilateral knee replacement.

How prevalent is that and over the last couple of decades how has that procedure changed?

Oh it's it you know osteo

arthritis of the knee and individuals needing total knee replacement is very common

procedure it's continuing growing you know we're probably doing the United States almost a

million total knees a year. So it's a very, very, very common procedure. You know, the

baby boomers come of age, the knees out. You know they've had some prior procedures or injuries

They end up seeing us in the office for that painful knee is it is it our lifestyle

We're talking again with dr skidari, he is with Northwell Health.

Is it our lifestyle?

Because my grandparents, you know, and they worked hard,

some of them were farmers, some of them, you know,

my grandfather worked like three or four jobs I know they had

aches and pains I don't remember them ever having knee replacements or you know hip
