Joint Action

Arthroscopy, past time to stop the harm with Prof Teppo Järvinen


Listen Later

Over the years, there has been good evidence that certain treatments are of little or no value, provide harm and have substantial costs associated with them. Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) is not a recommended treatment for osteoarthritis. Despite this, millions of these procedures are still being performed each year. On this week's episode of Joint Action we are joined by Professor Teppo Järvinen to discuss the evidence behind APM and evidence-based medicine.


Professor Teppo Järvinen, an orthopaedic surgeon at the department of orthopaedics and trauma at Helsinki University and Helsinki University Central Hospital. Teppo led the Fidelity trial and has a strong interest in the “too much medicine” movement.
