Join David as he interviews the world's leading experts in osteoarthritis.

  • New Joints, New Moves: How Joint Replacements Impact Physical Activity Levels with Dr Tim Lindsay

    New Joints, New Moves: How Joint Replacements Impact Physical Activity Levels with Dr Tim Lindsay
    Apr 27 2025

    Can joint replacements reduce pain, help you move more - and live longer? In this week's podcast episode, we explore the untold benefits of hip and knee replacements beyond pain relief. Dr Tim Lindsay, clinician and researcher at Imperial College London, joins us to share insights from large-scale studies that show how joint replacement can restore physical activity levels and potentially reduce premature mortality. We also discuss why recovery takes time, how expectations should be managed, and what patients can realistically achieve after surgery. If you're considering joint replacement or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers evidence-based clarity and hope.

  • The risk of bias in trial design and what this means for clinical practice with Dr Bruno da Costa

    The risk of bias in trial design and what this means for clinical practice with Dr Bruno da Costa
    Apr 13 2025

    In this episode of Joint Action, Professor David Hunter is joined by Dr. Bruno da Costa, Associate Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Toronto and Senior Scientist at the University of Oxford, to unpack the evidence behind injections for osteoarthritis.


    Dr. da Costa shares insights from his recent systematic review and network meta-analysis of clinical trials, revealing just how limited - and at times unreliable - the evidence is for many joint injection therapies.


    This episode explores:

    • Which injections (if any) offer real benefit - and for how long
    • The surprising extent of bias in osteoarthritis trials
    • Why some results may not be as credible as they seem
    • The role of placebo effects and commercial influence
    • What this means for people living with osteoarthritis


    If you’ve ever considered injection therapy, this episode will help you sort fact from fiction.
