The Ask Mike Reinold Show – Details, episodes & analysis

If you treat a lot of knee pain, this week’s episode is for you.

We review a new best-practice guide for patellofemoral pain that pulls together research, patient voices, and expert reasoning into one playbook. But here’s the twist: when you blend the data with what patients actually want and what clinicians really do, one deceptively simple priority rises to the top - something many of us already use, but probably not the way this paper suggests.

I know we are changing what we do at Champion. Curious what it is and how to sequence everything else around it? Check out this week’s podcast episode.

Show Notes:

• Evaluation and Treatment of the Knee
• Best practice guide for patellofemoral pain based on synthesis of a systematic review, the patient voice and expert clinical reasoning

Swelling and quadriceps muscle weakness are not uncommon after ACL reconstruction, and can even persist for several months.

Athletes want to get back to running and eventually their sport as fast as they can. But sometimes using time-based criteria is not optimal.

In this episode, we answer a question about whether an athlete should start running 5 months after an ACL reconstruction, even though they have persistent swelling and very low quad strength compared to the other limb.
