   America's Favorite Mascot: Rothman Goes Inside the Phanatic's Dressing Room

   For more than 30 years, Rothman Orthopaedics has been proud to serve as the team physicians for the Philadelphia Phillies. Now, the Phillies have given us a rare opportunity to go behind the curtain — and behind the suit. Meet Tom Burgoyne, the man behind our beloved Phanatic. On this episode of The Breakdown, Tom takes us behind the scenes of the Phanatic’s origin, the iconic skits, the injuries that come with the job, and the Rothman doctors who have helped keep him going. He also opens up about what it feels like to finally reveal the man behind the Phanatic — and what the future holds for one of Philadelphia’s most beloved icons.

   Hot Flashes and Achy Joints – Menopause Meets Orthopedics (Part 2)

   Menopause and joint pain: coincidence or connection? In Part 2 of our special Menopause Meets Orthopedics series, host Lauren DeRitis sits down with Dr. Arjun Saxena, Hip and Knee Surgeon at Rothman Orthopaedics, to explore how menopause impacts joint health, bone density, arthritis risk, and orthopedic outcomes. Building on insights from Part 1 with Dr. Saloni Sharma, this episode takes a deeper dive into the surgical perspective on menopause and musculoskeletal health. Dr. Saxena discusses the role of estrogen in maintaining bone strength and reducing inflammation, why women are at greater risk for osteoporosis and hip fractures after menopause, and how hormone changes can affect the hips, knees, muscles, ligaments, and overall mobility.
