Why I Started Orthopodcast

Dr. Lanny Johnson introduces the show: why life after surgery deserves its own conversation, what he learned from decades in the operating room, and the guests you’ll hear from this season.

Why Orthopodcast

Surgery takes a few hours. Recovery takes the rest of your life. This show is about the rest.

Most medical conversations end when you leave the hospital. Orthopodcast picks up where they stop — with the people who’ve lived it, the clinicians who guide it, and a surgeon who has spent five decades watching patients come back.

About the Host

Dr. Lanny Johnson, MD

Dr. Lanny L. Johnson is an orthopedic surgeon and one of the pioneers of arthroscopic surgery. He reported his first 100 arthroscopic cases in 1973, helped develop arthroscopic procedures for the knee, shoulder, elbow and hip, and has gone on to earn more than 75 U.S. patents in medicine and surgery.

On Orthopodcast, he sits down with patients, surgeons, therapists and athletes to talk about what really happens after surgery — and what it takes to come back stronger.
