  • The risk of bias in trial design and what this means for clinical practice with Dr Bruno da Costa
    2025/04/13

    In this episode of Joint Action, Professor David Hunter is joined by Dr. Bruno da Costa, Associate Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Toronto and Senior Scientist at the University of Oxford, to unpack the evidence behind injections for osteoarthritis.


    Dr. da Costa shares insights from his recent systematic review and network meta-analysis of clinical trials, revealing just how limited - and at times unreliable - the evidence is for many joint injection therapies.


    This episode explores:

    • Which injections (if any) offer real benefit - and for how long
    • The surprising extent of bias in osteoarthritis trials
    • Why some results may not be as credible as they seem
    • The role of placebo effects and commercial influence
    • What this means for people living with osteoarthritis


    If you’ve ever considered injection therapy, this episode will help you sort fact from fiction.

  • Driving change in osteoarthritis - strategies, barriers and consumer power with Louise Hardy
    2025/03/30

    For too long, people living with osteoarthritis have felt powerless - like there’s nothing they can do to influence change. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.


    In this powerful episode, Prof. David Hunter is joined by Louise Hardy, Director of Policy and Advocacy at Arthritis Australia, to explore how individuals can use their voice to drive meaningful change - especially in the lead-up to the Australian federal election.


    Louise shares practical ways you can support better care, fairer funding, and more accessible services for the 7 million Australians living with arthritis. They discuss the importance of community-led advocacy, out-of-pocket costs, gaps in clinical care, and how you can be part of the solution, today.


    Whether you live in Australia or abroad, this episode offers a roadmap for how your voice can make a difference - starting now.

  • Can MRI predict the development of osteoarthritis with Dr Ali Guermazi and Dr Alison Chang
    2025/03/16

    MRIs are increasingly used to detect early signs of osteoarthritis - but are they truly beneficial for most people? On this week's episode, we examine the role of MRI scans in diagnosing knee osteoarthritis, particularly in its early stages. Joined by leading experts Dr. Alison Chang, a professor of Physical Therapy at Northwestern University, and Dr. Ali Guermazi, a Radiology professor at Boston University, we explore the genuine value of MRIs. Our discussion highlights when these imaging tests can be helpful and when they might lead to unnecessary interventions. We also discuss why many MRI-detected changes don't actually progress into osteoarthritis and share practical advice for effectively managing knee health.

    Tune in for an evidence-based conversation to understand when MRIs truly add value - and when they may not.
