About this episode

The episode discusses myths surrounding osteoarthritis with Professor Richard Messon.

Joining Brian and myself in a room on campus, we are delighted to have Professor Richard Messon join us. Richard is one of our fantastic orthopaedic surgeons here at the RVC. We thought we’d ask him some questions separating the fact from the fiction in osteoarthritis. The reason we are not in the studio is that it might not look so good visually, and yes if you are keen you can watch this as a video podcast. We hope that you enjoy.
