Info on GLP1 and AF
My good orthopedist (not to be confused with my surgeon) mentioned some researchon GLP1 and AF.
The studies I have found seem to focus on RA and osteoarthritis.
When the surgeon decided there was nothing else he could do for me the only suggestion he had was to see a different surgeon and do a complete revision and "make more room" for the adhesions. Though the other doctors I've seen say that based on the x rays, the positioning looks good.
I tried metformin for my last MUA with scope, but don't feel that it helped to stop new adhesions after the larger ones were removed.

Hi Erica,
Thanks for your post! I agree that semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) shows interesting potential for helping arthrofibrosis, and my next blog is on this topic.
In my opinion, the science doesn't support the idea of "making more room" for adhesions and scar tissue, or doing a revision TKA without a clearly identified issue with the current prosthesis. Having a lysis of adhesions (LOA) helps some knees when the methods outlined in the "Surgery Checklist" on this website are followed. I hope this helps.
