She shares some specifics on the studies which met the inclusion criteria, which parameters measured showed some favor for the prehab intervention group, the clinical implications, and big takeaways.
Season 7, Episode 4 with Pascale Granicher: Do athletes benefit from preoperative physical therapy before ACL-reconstruction?
In episode 4 of season 7 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Do athletes benefit from preoperative physical therapy before ACL reconstruction?” with Dr. Pascale Granicher. She shares some specifics on what the literature suggests is related to whether an athlete returns to a sport or not, and how factors like psychological factors, knee-specific factors, patient-specific factors, and timing of surgery may impact a return to sport. She also shares any relationship between prehabilitation to a return to sport and her recommended clinical implications and big takeaways.

In episode 14 of season 6 of Inside the Science, we’re highlighting the study, “Development of a patient decision aid on subacromial decompression surgery and rotator cuff repair surgery: an international mixed-methods study” with Dr. Joshua Zadro. He explains from where the idea of this paper came, some specifics as to what is included in the decision aid itself, what was identified as to when a shoulder surgery is appropriate, and some of the differing opinions of the aid from patients versus various clinicians, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
Season 6, Episode 11 with Joshua Zadro: Diagnostic Labels for Rotator Cuff Disease Can Increase People’s Perceived Need for Shoulder Surgery
In episode 11 of season 6 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Diagnostic Labels for Rotator Cuff Disease Can Increase People’s Perceived Need for Shoulder Surgery: An Online Randomized Controlled Trial” with Dr. Joshua Zadro. He explains the details on what was in the literature previously including the variability of terms used to label it, what prompted he and his coauthors to conduct and publish it, specifics on how these surveys were delivered, there important results found, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
Season 6, Episode 7 with David Hunter: Multi-centre RCT comparing arthroscopic hip surgery to physiotherapist-led care for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome on hip cartilage metabolism
In episode 7 of season 6 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “ Multi-centre randomised controlled trial comparing arthroscopic hip surgery to physiotherapist-led care for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome on hip cartilage metabolism: the Australian FASHIoN trial” with Dr. David Hunter. He explain what exactly was measured and how, how the primary outcome of joint cartilage status and change was used to control placebo effect, how we should interpret this in everyday clinical consideration, what actually was favored between arthroscopy and physiotherapy-led care, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
Season 5, Episode 15 with Ian Harris: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy: did it ever work?
In episode 15 of season 5 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy: did it ever work?” with Dr. Ian Harris. He explains a bit of the history behind partial meniscectomy, the faulty thinking of its ability to cause a good outcome from its beginning, what systematic reviews on this topic have consistently shown, his thoughts on the those who would propose they have an effective selection process to favorably impact the results, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
Season 5, Episode 12 with Chad Cook: High Impact Chronic Pain Transition in Lumbar Surgery Recipients
In episode 12 of season 5 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “High Impact Chronic Pain Transition in Lumbar Surgery Recipients” with Dr Chad Cook. He explains more about this label of high impact chronic pain as it pertains to lumbar pain populations, more in-depth clarification of the methods of this study, who this data may be most meaningful to and with whom we may be wise to share it, the clinical presentation of these lumbar patients, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
Season 5, Episode 10 with Chad Cook: High impact chronic pain transition in surgical recipients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy
