April 3, 2026Howard Luks MD

Howard Luks MD calls a missed hip source of knee pain a "never event" and urges clinicians to "Rotate the femur" when evaluating for knee replacement.

This should be a never event.
Second opinion for knee replacement.
Granted. Complaint was knee pain. Not hip pain. Only knee pain
Rotate the femur folks.
