    From Idea to Market: Ep 2 - Shaping the Idea

    Send a text This episode explores how orthopedic innovators determine whether a clinical problem is worth solving at scale. We examine the transition from recognizing a frustration in practice to building a defensible business case for medical device development. Featuring perspectives from surgeons, CEOs, engineers, and legal experts, this conversation unpacks the critical questions that separate ideas worth pursuing from those destined to fail. We discuss burden arbitrage in periprosthetic joint infection, the four pillars of a viable business case, and why adoption friction kills even the best-supported innovations. You'll hear cautionary tales from early robotics adoption, lessons on regulatory pathways and reimbursement strategy, and practical guidance on protecting intellectual property while seeking objective feedback. This episode is designed for orthopedic surgeons, trainees, medical device developers, and anyone involved in translating clinical insights into commercial products. Whether you're considering your first innovation project or refining your approach to evaluating opportunities, this discussion provides a grounded framework for making better decisions earlier in the process. ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:37 Recap of Episode 1 02:25 Meet the Experts 05:07 Opportunity Recognition 07:06 Burden Arbitrage Example 10:39 Build the Business Case 14:26 De Risking and Adoption 16:06 Stress Test With Feedback 18:43 Friction and AI First Design 20:24 Legal Protection Early 22:08 Toolkit and Next Episode 24:52 Next Episode Preview Listen to the AHF Podcast on your preferred platform: Buzzsprout: [https://ahfpodcast.buzzsprout.com](https://ahfpodcast.buzzsprout.com/) Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ahf-podcast/id1749521487 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CrGJyvRiQFTCU3FFFVvHc Check us out on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ahf-podcast This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

    From Idea to Market: Ep 1 - The Spark

    Send a text This episode explores how medical innovation actually begins—not in labs or boardrooms, but in operating rooms, clinics, and patient encounters where routine practice no longer feels acceptable. We speak with orthopedic surgeons, engineers, and founders who've lived the journey from clinical frustration to real-world solutions. Innovation doesn't start with a breakthrough moment. It starts when someone notices the same problem repeatedly and decides they can't look away. Through conversations with surgeons like Jared Foran, Leo Whiteside, Charles Lawrie, and others, we examine three critical questions: How does a problem shift from inconvenience to obligation? What signals that an issue is structurally ignored rather than simply unsolved? And why do certain clinicians feel compelled to act while others move on? This is the first episode in our "From Idea to Market" series, designed to make the innovation process more transparent for practicing clinicians and anyone fostering an idea right now. Whether you're an orthopedic surgeon, trainee, researcher, or engineer, this episode reveals what the spark of innovation looks like in real life—and why noticing the problem is only the beginning. ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to From Idea to Market 03:44 Meet the innovators 06:38 When does frustration become obligation? 10:54 Structural neglect in healthcare systems 16:12 Why some people act and others move on 20:49 What we learned about the spark 24:06 Closing thoughts and next episode preview Listen to the AHF Podcast on your preferred platform: Buzzsprout: https://ahfpodcast.buzzsprout.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ahf-podcast/id1749521487 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CrGJyvRiQFTCU3FFFVvHc Check us out on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ahf-podcast This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

    The Anterior Hip Learning Curve Nobody Warns You About

    Send a text Learning the anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty doesn't follow a straight line. Dr. Joe Schwab shares what happened when improving his femoral technique unexpectedly made his acetabular work feel worse—and why that unsettling experience taught him more than any single complication. This episode is for orthopedic surgeons and trainees navigating the anterior approach learning curve, especially those who feel like their progress isn't linear. Joe walks through his own journey from posterior-trained resident to anterior-focused surgeon, including the cognitive challenges that don't show up in technique videos or course materials. He explains why the learning curve feels more like riding ocean waves than climbing a ladder, and offers practical guidance for managing the psychological demands of mastering a complex approach. If you're somewhere in the middle of your anterior journey and wondering whether the struggle is normal, this conversation will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface—and give you permission to keep moving forward thoughtfully. ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and disclaimer 01:08 Starting anterior approach out of the gate 04:51 The first plateau: getting good enough 06:10 The femur breakthrough and surprise setback 09:21 Understanding what was really happening 11:19 The waves: changing mindset over technique 13:58 What I wish someone had told me 16:19 Practical takeaways for surgeons on this path Listen to the AHF Podcast on your preferred platform: Buzzsprout: https://ahfpodcast.buzzsprout.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ahf-podcast/id1749521487 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CrGJyvRiQFTCU3FFFVvHc This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

    Ask Me Anything: LFCN Issues

    Send a text An engaging, AMA‑style deep dive into how to actually manage lateral femoral cutaneous nerve problems after anterior approach THA—from “my thigh feels weird” numbness to true neuroma‑level pain that drives patients crazy. In this Ask Me Anything episode, host Joe Schwab answers a real listener question from Dr. Tim Keating: “What is your treatment algorithm for patients with LFCN dysesthesia, neuroma, and other lasting bothersome effects?” Drawing on both the meralgia paresthetica literature and his own practice patterns, Joe lays out a clear, stepwise pathway you can put to work on Monday morning. You’ll learn: •Why most post‑op LFCN changes are benign neuropraxias that need education and reassurance, not intervention •How to structure medical management for persistent neuropathic symptoms: neuropathic agents, topical therapy, and desensitization strategies •When an ultrasound‑guided LFCN block becomes both a powerful diagnostic tool and a therapeutic option •Which small subset of patients might benefit from surgery (neurolysis, neurectomy/neuroma excision) and how to frame the “trade numbness for pain relief” conversation •Where to draw the line and pivot to multidisciplinary pain management instead of chasing endless procedures If you do anterior approach total hips—or you’re counseling patients who are living with anterior‑based LFCN symptoms—this algorithmic walkthrough will help you standardize decisions, protect patients, and avoid overtreating harmless numbness while still taking real pain seriously. 👇 Join the conversation What’s your approach to LFCN dysesthesia and neuroma after anterior THA? Did we miss a key step, study, or technique? Drop your own algorithm, pearls, or favorite references in the comments so others can learn from your experience. ⸻ 🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere you get podcasts 📺 Watch more from the Anterior Hip Foundation (AHF): YouTube @AnteriorHipFoundation 🗓️ New episodes: Fridays Host: Joseph M.

    Operation FUBAR: I Bet You Can't Do That!

    Send a text To WATCH this episode on YouTube, go here: https://youtu.be/6uohJmxA-eo In Episode 2 of Operation FUBAR, Dr. Ben Feibel (adult hip & knee reconstruction, Louisiana) walks us through a case that began with a familiar challenge — “I bet you can’t fix that” — and evolved into a humbling sequence of decisions, revisions, and hard-earned lessons. One thing that makes Operation FUBAR different: I don’t see the cases ahead of time. No slides. No roadmap. That’s intentional — so the reactions, questions, and conversation can stay spontaneous and genuine. 🎧✨ This episode explores reconstruction after a prior Girdlestone procedure, recurrent instability, and the moment when a case shifts from what can be done to what needs to be done. It’s also an honest look at the emotional weight that complications can carry — especially early in practice. What we cover 🧠🔧 Complex reconstruction after prior Girdlestone + significant shorteningAnterior approach considerations in challenging anatomy and tight soft tissuesEarly instability and recurrent dislocationEscalation strategy: length/offset changes, dual mobility, modular stemsAdvanced imaging (CT) and robotic-assisted cup placement (Mako)Patient counseling when complications accumulate 💬The “warrior mindset” vs. surgical restraint ⚖️Why this matters 🎯 This isn’t a victory lap. It’s a real conversation about judgment under pressure, humility, and the importance of talking openly about complications and limitations — because that honesty is part of the work. ⸻ 🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere you get podcasts 📺 Watch more from the Anterior Hip Foundation (AHF): YouTube @AnteriorHipFoundation 🗓️ New episodes: Fridays Host: Joseph M.
