    Total Hip Arthroplasty in Young Patients

    The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our hosts Kimberly K. Tucker, MD and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Neil P. Sheth, MD, FACS and Rafael J. Sierra, MD to discuss all things on hip replacements in patients that are early in adulthood (30 or less). Our hosts begin the podcast discussing Dr. Sheth’s study that entails patients less than 21- years old, but with a median age of 16 who underwent full hip replacement surgery.  What results looked like after a five year follow up – favorable or not, how he determines to perform a full hip replacement versus hip preservation and how does a full hip replacement in young patients compare to those done with older adults? Our guests also discuss how they approach the conversation of a total hip replacement with parents – what shared decision-making looks like, how they acquire consent from them and how they rely on them to monitor activity levels with the child. I think you’ll find this podcast extremely helpful, especially if you’ve encountered a younger patient with hip complications.  Enjoy and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut! In This Episode: Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD Neil P. Sheth, MD, FACS Rafael J. Sierra, MD Kimberly K. Tucker, MD The post Total Hip Arthroplasty in Young Patients first appeared on AAHKS.

    Getting the Most out of Patient Reported Outcomes

    The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our host Kimberly K. Tucker, MD welcomed our guests Antonia F. Chen, MD, MBA and Andrew Engh, MD to discuss Patient Reported Outcomes and what this means for you now that Medicare has made them a requirement in quality benchmarks. In this podcast, we review two award-winning studies. The first study dives into the various ways to optimize patient reported outcome collection within health systems. Dr. Chen shares what she feels is the most important change hospitals should focus on to make patient reported outcome collection both clinically meaningful and operational sustainable. The other award-winning paper discusses paper vs. electronic data capture in knee arthroplasty. Learn if compared to paper forms, does electronic data collection increase follow-up rates or improve data quality at lower costs. I think you’ll find this recording of JOA: The Cut to be filled with lots of valuable nuggets that can possibly shape and improve your practice.

    Alignment and Total Knee Arthroplasty

    The Journal of Arthroplasty’s: The Cut brings you a very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this special episode, we’re very fortunate to have Leonard T. Buller, MD, Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD, Kimberly K. Tucker, MD and James D. Slover, MD, MS, join us to discuss various studies on different alignment strategies that impact balance, motion and outcomes. Knee alignment has always been central to how surgeons think about knee replacement from the long-standing standard of mechanical alignment to the more patient specific philosophy of kinematic and functional alignment. With robotics and large data sets, we’re starting to see these concepts tested in new ways. You don’t want to miss this recording!

    Robotic vs. Manual TKA

    The Journal of Arthroplasty’s: The Cut brings you a very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. We have Kenneth A. Gustke, MD, Kimberly K. Tucker, MD and Jonathan M. Vigdorchik, MD joining us to dive in and discuss robotics vs. manual TKA. They’re looking at insight safety and functional alignment outcomes. Our guests are reviewing articles that questions “does the location of fixation pins affect complication rates – is it safe or note?” Our panel also discuss the idea of adopting new technology – does it add additional time, does it increase cost? I think you’ll find the outcomes of these studies very interesting. Join us for this episode and don’t forget to subscribe for future recordings.

    Fellowship Application Process

    The Journal of Arthroplasty’s: The Cut brings you a very special edition discussing the Fellowship Application process. In this episode, we had a wonderful panel to discuss the process – Joshua P. Rainey, MD, Mackenzie Kelly, MD, Kevin A. Sonn, MD, Reed Salmons, MD and Erik N. Zeegen, MD. This episode’s moderator, Dr. Rainey began the podcast with the question to the panel “what is the purpose of doing a fellowship?” Dr. Rainey wanted to know if the panel found value in completing their fellowship and if a fellowship is even needed in today’s climate to be successful. If you’re wondering if an adult reconstruction fellowship puts you on the cutting edge of the latest technology and information, this may be the podcasts for you. Deciding what fellowship to choose and if having the fellowship makes you more marketable and attractive to employers are just some of things the panel discusses.
