The role of bariatric surgery for people with osteoarthritis with Dr Jonathan Samuels

The prevalence of osteoarthritis continues to grow with the increasing rates of obesity. Obesity is a major risk factor for the progression of osteoarthritis and those who are obese are at an increased risk for requiring a total knee replacement.

By preventing weight-related osteoarthritis as well as helping to manage people’s weight, we may be able to reduce the burden of OA. The effects of weight loss on knee osteoarthritis pain have been well established, however, is difficult to achieve for most people. On this episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Dr Jonathan Samuels to discuss the role of bariatric weight loss and how it may delay or eliminate the need for total knee replacement in some.

Dr Jonathan Samuels is a rheumatologist at NYU Langone Health, located in Manhattan, New York. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Dr Samuels’ focus is on osteoarthritis of the hip and knee and he strives to contribute to significant breakthroughs in this area by working in collaboration with orthopaedic and bariatric specialists.
