Well done, thanks. It is important that objective approaches be taken to this issue, especially as surgical intervention is still widely used. Your study points to the real need to gain more good unbiased data.

I came across this podcast audio between Professor Teppo Järvinen and David Hunter on Linkedin Joint Action on 'Arthroscopy, past time to stop the harm' . While somewhat outside the precise topic being discussed in this article, the material being referenced in the podcast is strong evidence to suggest there be much greater restrain in use of scopes for knee OA (as evaluated beyond the issue of PROMS and muscle strengths) are the rare but very serious potentials for infection, and a host of negative cost and social issues. Is there an opportunity to address this issue more strongly in a discussion piece or some other aspects of this program?
