Joel Hurt, MD - Austin Orthopedic Institute
This channel features Dr. Joel Hurt, a board certified fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon, answering common orthopedic questions in an engaging and patient-centered fashion. No quoting studies or citing complex anatomy without explanation....we keep it simple. Sure, you can read a lot on-line but who is writing those articles? (Hint- probably not an orthopedic surgeon) And why are they so basic and overly general? Because the author likely just summarized what they read in a book. Healthspeak is different. I'm a surgeon who hasn't just studied the material but has actually treated these orthopedic issues in real life. So much of medicine is judgment and nuance that is only learned by first hand experience...on this channel I'll share mine. Most of the time will be spent on common knee and shoulder conditions, though general orthopedics is also something we will cover. Our goal is one video per week and with time we will customize content for your questions.

I’ve had steroid injections in my shoulder, lower back, hip, knee, foot (plantar fasciitis), and big toe…the shots helped…still had to have meniscus surgery on my knee but that was just to “clean out” the torn/frayed cartilage…
Mahalo doc. Question. So I finally got my replacement after 5 years of suffering. 6 drs said I'm too young. Now at 55 a dr did it. I'm at 7 weeks n knee bends 86-91 . My problem was my knee has never bent 5 years prior. I'm getting nervous won't bend. Pt did some help but I'm stuck at 88 degrees. What can I do
How long will it before I go back work as a school bus driver?
The side effects are often horrible.
Doctor, Joel H, successfully repaired my newly injured knee. I greatly appreciate his excellent work. I recommended it!
Doesn't answer questions. Suspicious.
It's a scam not going to work
Incredibly informative
Four months post op, best description yet Thanks. perfect

This was a great video thank you. It calmed a lot of my fears. I guess I thought I was gonna be up in two weeks maybe three.

And my left knee done in 2015 and this fall and my right knee down
I have a knee replacement but my feet is not okay. I can't pick up my tones. And walk not well.
7 mos post TKR 90 percent back still having some stiffness pain is gone but in a occasion a flare up
Please take precaution of testing for metal allergies before surgery. I found out I'm highly allergic to nickel. Surgeon had to use a different knee replacement or I would have never healed and been in serious pain. It would have had to be removed and no replacement could be put in until it healed, leaving me bedridden for weeks! Not good. Be safe!
Finally the truth.
Sir thanks for educating us. This presentation is very informative.
I had a revision surgery on my right knee after having had a partial knee replacement all I can say is it has been 13 years since my total knee replacement and my knee is still swollen and warm to the touch it hurts all the time and I will never get it replaced again and my other knee that is bad will just stay bad I will never as long as I live get another knee replacement. My experience was so bad that when I fell and broke my hip I did not go to the doctor until til I caught covid and got so sick I was admitted to the hospital and then they replaced my hip which was not as bad as the knee but I now have pain all the time in my hip so no more joint replacement for me.
It might depend on if robotic or not
My last one last week caused me so much more pain than i had wount be having another
Define work.
Very helpful as I approach my knee replacement. Hope for quick recovery . . . expect slow! Got it!!
I have been taking steroid injections on both of my shoulders, Neck and Knees since 2006 and everything this Dr said I can confirm. I ended up getting Total R knee replacement back in 2014. Now both of my shoulders have tears on mjy rotator cuff and it hurt like hell. Still seeking for a good Orthopedic surgeon to explore my options. MTF.
Thank you so much! I agree that education is everything. I was told it could take a year but i was never told a diagnosis. Apparently it’s difficult to diagnose but here you say that if the pain is not deep inside the front of the shoulder while attempting to do external rotation but instead it is in the lateral aspect of the shoulder then it is more likely to be a rotator cuff tear or tendinitis. I will discuss with my orthopedist in trying to figure out if cortisone will be helpful in either case. Great presentation doc! Thank you again. ❤
Amazing teaching video.
I just had a lower back steriod injection should I go forward with another injection 7 days later in the thoraci area? Is it too soon?
I’m very pleased with my left knee which was replaced a year and a half ago; I was 79. As Dr Hurt points out, it took the better part of a year for it to heal. It works well for walking and for indoor exercises. It’s now been 7 weeks since my right knee was replaced. Things are going less well this time around. For example, I’m still on an opiate. Though I have a capable physical therapist and work the exercises at home, I have only 98 degrees of flexion. Next week, I’ll find out if it will have to be manipulated under anesthesia. Except for the general anesthetic, the procedure sounds medieval. I’ve doubled down on my home regimen in the hope of avoiding it. The thing that keeps me hopeful is the good result I’ve achieved on the left. I think this was an informative and down to earth video. The comments were also helpful. Thank you, Dr Hurt.
My Doctor is happy with the flexion and movement of the inplant it is the tight pressure of the in plant that keeps me up all night my knees still heat up and swell i have to stand for 8 hours a day with my job its been 8 months when will the tightness and burning go
What about after 6 months of therapy, and you've gotten as far as you can go?
Thank you for this info video, my doctor advice me to undergo a right knee replacement surgery this year because of an early onset of arthritis…initially I have fear of this surgery but the encouragement of doctors and a lot of researches I did before I decide made a positive analysis of what will be doing on my knee… plus reading of a lot of positive comments here.
The loud pop was terrifying i remember it so clearly i thought I broke my leg or something but nope I thought it was fine i walked to my home and went to bed when i woke up in the morning my knee was hurting so bad and the color was red due to inside bleeding all night,as a futboll player the worst thing that could happen just happened and the dream to be a professional futboll player died right there
Great information 🙏
They are a TEMPORARY fix
This is the best and most realistic guidance I have seen so far. Thank you
Great explanation & images.
Orthopeadic surgeons are filth
I am a javelin thrower and I have shoulder bursitis. If I have a steroid injection, will this heal my bursitis or will it just be a short term pain reliever?
Talk about the side effects
Very Well said! Thank You!
Excellent presentation , it cleared up a lot of questions for me !
I hiked 2650 miles from Mexico to Canada exactly 120 days after my full knee replacement. Was it easy? NO. It's been four years and and eleven thousand miles of hiking and it will never feel like the original knee, but I'm still hiking and crushing it on the snowboard. The pain wasn't as bad as the upper tibial open wedge osteotomy I had done on the other knee though.
I had my surgery 3 weeks ago was doing great right away but throbbing more now. Thanks for explaining it helped
my doctor didn't use robotic, I think he might have used wrong size and do they keep everything lined up correctly?? im still in pain after 1 year
THANK YOU!!!
Think I have this now. Going to Ortho. CRNP soon. PT thought it was this.
