    2025 Surgical Techniques & Technologies Award Winner

    At the 2025 AAHKS Annual Meeting, our hosts William B. Kurtz, MD and Pier Francesco Indelli, MD, PhD had the opportunity to sit with Charles Gusho, MD and Wayne T. Hoskins, FRACS, PhD, the winners of AAHKS’ 2025 Surgical Techniques & Technologies Award to discuss their study on “What Is the Ideal Technique and Construct in Aseptic Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty?” Drs. Gusho and Hoskins’ main objective was to explore the various techniques, constructs and fixation strategies for a revision TKA (RTKA). This study assessed re-revision outcomes based on what components were revised, implant choice and construct fixation. Ultimately, they discovered superior results occured when there was a complete revision – when femur and tibia components were removed, new femur and tibias were put in with stems and the use of a cone or sleeve on the tibia or femur.  Listen to the full  episode for more on how Drs. Gusho and Hoskins conducted this national registery-based retrospective cohort study and the results they discovered. Be sure to subscribe and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!   In This Episode: Charles Gusho, MD Wayne T.

    Operative Approaches to Knee Replacement

    In this very special episode of AAHKS Amplified, we have members from the AAHKS Patient and Public Relations Committee join us to discuss operative approaches to knee replacement. Our host David G. Deckey, MD curated a wonderful conversation with Cody C. Green, MD, Andrew Scott Murtha, MD and Charlie Yoo, MD around the various ways surgeons can get to the joint itself and depending on the approach taken, this may or may not dictate what the first few weeks of recovery looks like for the patient. So, in this episode, listeners will learn to identify “surgical jargon” so that a more informed conversation can be had between surgeon and patient. They also talk in great detail about the medial parapatellar approach which happens to be the most common approach to knee replacement surgery.  If you are someone you know is considering a knee replacement, this is a podcast you don’t want to miss. Be sure to subscribe and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!   In This Episode: David G.

    The 2025 James A. Rand, MD Young Investigator’s Award Goes to Presentation on “Nickel Free” vs. Standard Cobalt-Chrome

    At the 2025 AAHKS Annual Meeting, our host William B. Kurtz, MD had the great opportunity to sit with Michael E. Neufeld, MD, MSc, FRCSC whose study Synovial Metal Ions in “Nickel Free” vs. Standard Cobalt-Chrome Containing Total Knee Replacement won the James A. Rand, MD Young Investigator’s Award.  It was a case-controlled study, consisting of 22 patients with metal allergies and 19 controls with patients that underwent standard knee replacement with cobalt-chrome containing knees. What made this study so fascinating is that implants are hypoallergenic, containing no nickel in them, however Dr. Neufeld’s study found that nickel content in the hypoallergenic knee was four times higher than the standard cobalt-knee. So, our host and Dr. Neufeld discuss all possible explanations for why in this study implants had higher nickel in the synovial fluid.  Listen and learn what their hypothesizes were for this. Be sure to subscribe and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!   In This Episode: William B.

    Advocacy Discussion with AAHKS Presidential Award Winner

    Our host, Thomas G. Myers, MD had the opportunity to sit with the 2025 AAHKS Annual Meeting Presidential Award winner Adam J. Rana, MD to discuss advocacy and health policy.   Dr. Rana began the podcast by thanking Richard Iorio, MD AAHKS’ 2001 President for introducing him to health policy in 2012 as a resident. He quickly learned the economics surrounding hip and knee arthroplasty like implant costs and the importance of preserving the profession of arthroplasty for current surgeons, future surgeons and keeping access to care available for all patients. Dr. Rana’s passion for health policy only grew during his two-year period as a member of the AAHKS Health Policy Fellowship. He recalls his two-year time in the AAHKS Health Policy Fellowship as a very formative period for him, having the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. to meet with congressional members.  Dr. Myers ask Dr. Rana his thoughts on the BIG CUT that may be coming and why it’s happening. Dr. Rana shares that payment reform, value-based care and prior authorization are the three leading concerns of arthroplasty surgeons right now. Learn why and what his thoughts are concerning each topic.  This is a recording you don’t want to miss. Be sure to subscribe and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!   In This Episode: Thomas G.

    Synovial Metal Ions in Nickel Free vs. Standard Cobalt-Chrome Containing Total Knee Replacement

    Last year at the 2025 AAHKS Annual Meeting, our host William B. Kurtz, MD spoke with the James A. Rand, MD, Young Investigator’s Award recipient Michael E. Neufeld, MD, MSc, FRCSC about his study on Synovial Metal Ions in “Nickel Free” vs. Standard Cobalt-Chrome Containing Total Knee Replacement.  Dr. Neufeld shared that the aim of his study was to compare intraarticular synovial fluid levels of metal ions in patients who underwent cemented primary TKA with a hypoallergenic implant vs. a matched cohort of standard cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) containing implants at a minimum two-year follow-up. A case-controlled study was conducted using prospectively collected data from a single institution – 22 cases and 19 controls.  Interestingly, the study uncovered that patients with hypoallergenic implants had intraarticular synovial Ni ion levels 3.6 times higher vs. standard implant controls, contesting the use of this hypoallergenic implant for Ni allergy/hypersensitivity.
