Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I thought it was that Consultants were titled Mr/Ms/Mrs, you could be a Surgeon but not yet a Consultant.

@rjs, that's what I thought, which is why I said consultants rather than surgeons but RCS says surgeons too

@jjams82, congrats!! yay!!
..just to chip in - apparently back in the day (victorian era), one would become a surgeon through apprenticeship. So surgeons didn't need to be qualified doctors to operate - they just needed to know how to hack open a body with saws or big knives. So because of the apprenticeship, surgeons couldn't earn the Dr. title. That's obviously not the case anymore but apparently tradition is tradition. So now when one becomes a doctor, they become Dr. So and So. But when they go on to earn their surgeon title, they revert back to Mr./Ms. etc

Inside Health on R4 yesterday had an interesting feature on what sounds like cartilage replacement for the thumb joint.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0008wpc
It's about 24min in.
I wonder if the same technology can be applied to knee's. The loads the respective joints will be under will be very different but perhaps there is hope that it could be applied to knees ?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

You know it makes sense.

18 months after rupturing my ACL. Still ACL-free. Just don't really think about it during the day-to-day. I just know I have to train legs year-round... that's a given now but life goes on without any issues... occasional slight knee pain maybe after workouts but no swelling and no impact on functionality.

@ItaloSkier
Same. Just passed the 18 months and just returned from a week of great skiing in La Rosiere. Makes all the gym work worthwhile
