Burns = big consequences. Let’s talk thermoprotection. In this episode of the BackTable MSK Podcast, host Jacob Fleming welcomes longtime friend and colleague Dr. Alan Sag to discuss thermoprotection in musculoskeletal ablation procedures over this two-part episode series. Part 1 focuses on established strategies and new techniques for protecting critical structures during ablation.
