In this episode of OrthoInform, host Dr. Eric Chehab sits down with orthopedic shoulder specialist Dr. John Ross to demystify shoulder injuries, fractures, and advanced treatment options.

    Minimally Invasive Spine & Back Surgery

    In this episode of IBJI’s OrthoInform, host Cory Leman sits down with orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Mark Mikhael to demystify back pain and explore the rapidly evolving world of spine care. Dr. Mikhael pulls back the curtain on minimally invasive spine surgery, breaking down its four foundational pillars and explaining common degenerative conditions like disc herniations and spinal stenosis. Listeners will learn the structural anatomy behind why the lower back and neck bear the brunt of daily wear and tear, what a surgeon looks for when diagnosing spinal instability, and what actually happens during common procedures like microdiscectomies and fusions.

    Anterior Hip Replacement

    In this episode of IBJI’s OrthoInform, host Cory Leman sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Ackerman to break down everything you need to know about hip pain, arthritis, and modern hip replacement—especially the anterior approach. Dr. Ackerman explains what’s really happening inside the hip joint as cartilage wears down, why stiffness and pain develop over time, and how to recognize when it’s more than just minor discomfort. Using simple, relatable analogies, he helps listeners understand when hip pain becomes a serious issue and what warning signs signal it’s time to seek help.

  4. 8. Apr.

    Scoliosis

    In this podcast episode, Dr. Eric Chehab and Dr. Steve Mardjetko discuss scoliosis, explaining it as a three-dimensional spinal curve most often identified in children over age 10. They talk about how treatment is based on the size of the curve and how much a child still has to grow, ranging from simply watching small curves to using a back brace for moderate ones. The doctors also describe how larger curves may require surgery to prevent long-term health issues in adulthood, noting that modern medical advancements now allow most kids to be up and walking the day after their procedure.

    Knee Preservation vs. Replacement

    In this episode of OrthoInform, Dr. Eric Chehab and Dr. Alexander Tauchen discuss managing knee arthritis, noting that patients are often surprised by the diagnosis since the condition can remain asymptomatic until a minor injury triggers significant pain. Dr. Tauchen advocates for a "joint preservation" approach first, utilizing activity modification, weight loss, physical therapy, and injections like cortisone or visco-supplementation. While acknowledging the popularity of biologics like PRP and stem cells, he cautions that there is no clinical data proving they can regrow cartilage in "bone-on-bone" cases. Ultimately, surgery—whether a partial replacement to preserve natural ligaments or a total replacement for widespread disease—is reserved for when a patient is "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and seeks to restore their daily quality of life.

  6. 3. Feb.

    Common Foot and Ankle Injuries

    In this episode of IBJI’s Ortho Inform, host Dr. Eric Chehab is joined by foot and ankle specialist Dr. Akshay Jain to discuss common foot and ankle injuries seen every day. They break down ankle sprains, Achilles tendon injuries, fifth metatarsal fractures, Lisfranc injuries, stress fractures, and turf toe—explaining how these injuries happen, treatment options, recovery timelines, and when surgery may or may not be needed. A helpful, patient-focused conversation designed to educate listeners on how to recognize injuries and get back to moving safely.

  7. 6. Jan.

    Massage Therapy

    In this episode of IBJI’s OrthoInform, Dr. Eric Chehab is joined by licensed massage therapist and acupuncturist Yvonne Gonzalez to discuss the role of therapeutic massage in orthopedic care. They explore how massage therapy supports pain relief, injury prevention, recovery, and performance, and how it integrates with physical therapy and medical treatment. Learn how hands-on care can help patients move better, feel better, and live better.
