Today marks the international release of AAHKS arthroplasty implant registry #AIR implant ID app! #AIR is now available as we kick off #AAHKS2024. I'm sorry to all who are suffering thru my voice on the video board, but we look forward to your feedback! air.aahks.net

Have you ever had a difficult time identifying a hip stem on a radiograph? Those days are over! The AAHKS Arthroplasty Implant Registry #AIR is now live! Hats off to Andy Schwartz for putting together this incredible tool. Air.aahks.net

It’s finally here! No more tweeting Andy Schwartz with pictures everytime I need to ID an implant!! Best news of #AAHKS annual meeting so far!

Damn it. Who is cutting onions?

Hot off the presses, WomenInArthroplasty jackets!!! Thanks Kim Tucker, MD, FAAHKS, FAAOS ! New favorite jacket unlocked! #AAHKS2024

Great meeting Dustin Schuett DO, FAAOS Adam Bitterman, DO, FAAOS IRL at #AAOS2025 and catching up on all things Ortho and more!
