   When Things Don’t Go According to Plan in the Operating Room

   The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode that focuses on the operating room. In this episode, we’ll be discussing how we navigate the moments in total hip arthroplasty when things don’t go exactly as planned. Although we spend a great deal of time in arthroplasty on pre optimization, challenges are inevitable, even in well selected patients. But we’ll look at how we respond during those moments that ultimately define the outcomes. Our host Kim K. Tucker, MD was joined by Peter A. Gold, MD, William G. Hamilton, MD, David C. Landy, MD, PhD, Elizabeth G. Lieberman, MD who unpacked their approach, what they do when there are problems on the socket side or getting the cup to stick. These are issues that arise regularly and not just for those early in their career but for even the most seasoned surgeons. We think all arthroplasty surgeons can benefit from this recording. Tune in for the full recording and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut! In This Episode: Peter A.

   Functional Versus Mechanical Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty

   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 Kim K. Tucker, MD speaks with our guest Simon W. Young, MD, FRCS about the John N. Insall award-winning study on Functional Versus Mechanical Aligment in Total Knee Arthroplasty. Mechanical alignment (MA) in total knee arthroplasty is regarded as a gold standard; however, some patients report dissatisfaction postsurgery. Functional alignment (FA) is a potential alternative, integrating kinematic alignment (KA) principles with preresection bone balancing within defined boundaries. In this prospective, randomized controlled trial in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty, interesting results were uncovered. Tune in to the full recording to find out what was discovered.

   Surgeon Wellness

   The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you a very special episode on a topic that we rarely discuss – the surgeon. In this episode, our hosts Kim Tucker, MD and Carlos A. Higuera-Rueda, MD, FAAOS speak with our highly accomplished guests Peter A. Gold, MD and Nana O. Sarpong, MD, MBA on the topic of “physician burnout” that’s garnering a fair amount of attention in recent months. So, how do we preserve the surgeon to avoid burnout when in modern times surgeons are no longer just surgeons but clinicians, technicians, administrators and team leaders and often in the same day. What makes physician burnout a very plausible reality is the requirement to deliver consistently, like any elite performer. To be there for their patients physically, cognitively and emotionally. But the reality is, surgeons are managing even more complex patients and navigating increasing administrative burdens. So, in this podcast, our hosts and guests answer the question “what happens when the demands of the profession out pace the support systems around it?” For more, listen to the full recording here.
