Robert LaPrade, M.D. Ph.D., a knee surgeon at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado, has updated his website http://drrobertlaprademd.com/, so that patients and medical professionals can better understand the anatomy of the knee, what causes knee pain, and treatment options.
Some of the conditions addressed on the site include:

Dr. LaPrade has included a new section on his website giving professionals access to:

He has authored more than 250 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and 75 book chapters, and has given over 750 professional presentations, symposia, and instructional course lectures.”

Glad to see that Dr. LaPrade is still advancing the treatment of sports injuries and ortho. disorders.
I was to the clinic in Vail in 2009 or 2010 for PRP, administered by Dr. Karli.
Since then, I have been getting injections of synvisc, 3 inject. every 6 months. and do not feel I need a TKR.
I injest about 34 supplements,daily which, seem to alleviate pain, together with regular exercise.
I would like to keep in touch with dr. LaPrade,to be notified of any new advances that might be available in the future.
Sincerely,
LORRAINE HORNYAK
