The Psychology of Procrastinators and the Effect of Perioperative Nutrition on Muscle Recovery After TKA

In this episode, Marc and Mo discuss two recent articles that caught their eye, including (1) an OE article on the psychology of procrastination (also known as the “intention-to-action gap”), including its role in stress and health-related issues, and (2) a JBJS article on perioperative nutrition and its effect on muscle strength and volume following TKA.
