    Revision Arthroplasty: Constrained Liners, Dual Mobility and Trends

    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 Kim K. Tucker, MD and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Craig J. Della Valle, MD, George J. Haidukewych, MD and Rafael J. Sierra, MD to discuss three different papers focusing on dual mobility, constrained liners and trends.   Dr. Sierra began discussing the first paper/study on dual mobility. Dr. Sierra had some sheer takeaways that he wanted all surgeons to know such as surgeons should always look for an excuse to revise the cup in a revision. It’s extremely important to do this. Our second paper/study on constrained liners when abductor muscles are gone or dual mobility has already failed was discussed by Dr. Haidukewych. And lastly, the final paper/study on what is driving revisions in the US was discussed by Dr. Della Valle. In this recording, our guests share a great deal of knowledge on revision arthroplasty. If your patients are in need of revision surgery, this is a podcast you don’t want to miss. For more, listen to the full recording here.

    Corticosteroid Injections and the Hip

    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 Kim K. Tucker, MD, and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Ran Schwarzkopf, MD, MSc and Christopher E. Pelt, MD to discuss three different papers, all focusing on corticosteroid injections – do they actually help and at what cost? These injections have long been a part of the diagnostic and therapeutic toolkit, but recent data raise questions about their durability and safety—particularly before arthroplasty. Our gracious guests responded to questions such as how they counsel patients requesting a hip CSI given this limited benefit and potential infection signal, how they plan fixation when bone quality is compromised from RPOA and if there are posterior-specific technical pearls (capsular repair, retractor placement) that help minimize GT pain and so much more!  In this recording, our guests tackle three different angles of corticosteroid use, but a common thread between them all were that they’re not as benign as once thought.

    Advocacy – What it Means, Why it Matters and How to get Involved

    In this episode of The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut, our host Elizabeth G. Lieberman, MD spoke with Stephen M. Engstrom, MD and Paul M. Lichstein, MD, MS about advocacy. Together, they discussed what advocacy means, why it matters to arthroplasty surgeons and how everyone can get involved. Our invited guests began by informing listeners that this discussion is rooted in ensuring that surgeons have a voice in the system that shape their practice. Two passionate surgeons with a singular goal of working towards sustaining physician autonomy and physician control of their practice. After listening to this recording, our listeners will understand the importance of advocacy for arthroplasty surgeons regardless of where they practice. Understanding that decisions being made on a national level with regard to physician reimbursement and patient access to care will have a tremendous impact on daily practice. If you’re wanting to learn more about advocacy, this is the podcast for you. Enjoy and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut!   In This Episode: Stephen M. Engstrom, MD Paul M.

    Joint Preservation

    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 Kim K. Tucker, MD, and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guest Ronald E. Delanois, MD to review and discuss his in-depth study on pre-operative management in knee arthritis. Dr. Delanois immediately discovered following the completion of his study was that expectations of PRP should be tempered compared to corticosteroids. Our guest also discussed the perception PRP has with most patients – thoughts that it’s “more special or elite” which has gotten ahead of evidence that suggests otherwise. In Dr. Delanois’ opinion, proper studies have not been conducted on PRP to dispel patients’ belief that PRP regenerate or even preserves current knee cartilage. In this recording, Dr. Delanois goes into great details about his study and how he eliminated bias to generate the most accurate outcomes. Join us for this insightful recording that you’re sure to find useful in your everyday practice. Enjoy and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut!   In This Episode: Ronald E.

    Arthroplasty and Hip Fractures

    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 Kim K. Tucker, MD and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Jeremy M. Gililland, MD, George Grammatopoulos, MD, FRCS and Elizabeth G. Lieberman, MD to review and discuss studies that go beyond the implant and into the system. This recording is looking at outcomes that vary a great deal depending on where and what kind of care patients receive. Our hosts and guests took a deep dive into the intersection between hospital systems, implant selection and the surgical approach with respect to hip fracture management. Together these things raise questions about where patients are treated, how they choose their implant and if new surgical trends deliver on results. Join us for this enlightening recording that we think you’ll find useful. Enjoy and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut! In This Episode: Jeremy M.

    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 Kim 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 included 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? While Dr. Sheth’s study showed that modern THA can succeed in teens, Dr. Sierra study focused on how those results transition into early adulthood when activity demands increase. Dr. Sierra’s study included patients less than 30 – years old (median age of 23) with a seven-year follow-up. Survivorship in this study shocked even Dr. Sierra. 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!

    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!
